I'm pretty sure all BA 777 are 3-3-3 and always have been. There was I think a charter ops out of Gatwick (Thomas Cook?) that ran 777s in 3-4-3 in BA livery but didnt Eddington stop that?

That's what I was on about a few posts up - it was the AML contract.

Tha would be the reason then.... it was a Gatwick, Tobago, Grenada flight for our honeymoon 5 years ago. I was suprised it was 3-4-3 on that 777 as AA only do 2-5-2. Haven't been long haul on a BA 777 since. I did to WT+ JNB to LHR last year on a 744, OK, but not great!

See this website, http://www.airlinequality.com/Product/seats_global.htm to check the aircraft/airline seat pitch.

I review it regularly when I am about to travel and always use the better legroom carriers, especially when I am about to undergo many hours of torture being squeezed in cattle class.

Cheers.
