British Airways operates 3 versions of Boeing 777-200 airplanes.
First cabin version of the Boeing 777-200 (772) Four Class
First version of Boeing 777-200 may transport 224 passengers in four classes.
First class includes 14 open suites. All these seats are standard. Only seats of the 1st row and the seats 4A and 4K have such a disadvantage as proximity of the lavatories and galley.
Club World class has 48 flat bed seats located in 6 rows per 8 seats in each.
The main disadvantage of the seats 10AB and 10JK is close location of the lavatories.
The seats 12A and 12K have misaligned windows.
The seats 15A and 15K have several advantages: in lying flat position these seats have a little more legroom and these seats have easier access to the aisle. These seats are reserved for passengers with infants as they have bassinet location. If these seats are not reserved they are released for other passengers 24 hours prior the flight. The only insignificant disadvantage of these seats are misaligned windows, but these seats have more than one window.
All E and F seats are ideal for those passengers who travel with partners.
The seats 15 E and 15F have bassinet location. Passengers with babies are often seated here. However, high-traffic area may be a problem.
World Traveller Plus has 40 seats located in 5 rows and have 2-4-2 configuration.
The seats of the 21st row are considered best seats on the airplane. Passengers of these seats will feel comfortable thanks to a lot of extra space for their legs. Plus the footrest is attached to these seats. As the tray tables are in the armrests, the width of these seats is reduced. Also there is no floor storage for these seats during takeoff and landing.
The only disadvantage of the seats of the 25th row is proximity of the lavatories. Entertainment equipment stored under the seats 25DEF limits the under-seat leg and storage space.
World Traveller section includes 122 standard seats.
The seats 26A and 26K are bad seats as they have restricted space for passengers’ legs because of the exit door protrusion. These seats have no windows. Among other disadvantages: lack of overhead storage and of floor storage during take-off and landing, reduced width of the seats and proximity of the lavatories.
All other seats of the 26th row, i.e. the seats 26DC, 26DEF and 26HJ have extra legroom but at the same time have the same disadvantages as seats 26A and 26K, namely: lack of floor storage during take-off and landing, reduced width of the seats. Also other passengers tend to gather here in order to visit lavatories.

The width of the seats 36A and 36K, 37A and 37K and 38A is reduced.

Double Delivery: British Airways Takes First Boeing 777 In ...
British Airways (BA, London Heathrow) will retire its three remaining B777-200s by the end of 2020, ch-aviation has learned.
The three Boeing widebodies, G-ZZZA (msn 27105), G-ZZZB (msn 27106), and G-ZZZC (msn 27107), are currently scheduled for a phase-out in September or October 2020. All three units are 24-year-old aircraft owned by British Airways and operated by the carrier throughout their life span. Each of the aircraft accumulated over 95,000 flight hours and around 20,000 flight cycles as of April 30, 2019, the ch-aviation fleets advanced module shows.
The B777-200s are used by British Airways mainly on services out of London Heathrow to the US East Coast (New York JFK and Boston) and the Middle East (Dubai Int'l and Bahrain Int'l).
In terms of its B777 fleet, British Airways also operates forty-three B777-200(ER)s and twelve B777-300(ER)s.
Separately, the carrier is looking at adding more second-hand A380-800s. IAG International Airlines Group CEO Willie Walsh told aeroTELEGRAPH that the group 'would definitely think about it'.
'If we get them for the right price. The biggest problem is the cost of refurbishment, which is quite high. We have to be sure that we can do it in ways that make it worthwhile, and then it will be a topic. We currently have twelve A380s in British Airways' fleet and I can imagine eighteen. Six more Airbus A380s would make sense,' Walsh said.
The carrier's twelve A380-800s are 5.2 years old on average. Walsh underlined that the group is not looking at adding the A380s for any other airline.

Besides the B777s and the A380s, British Airways' widebody fleet also includes thirty-four B747-400s, twelve B787-8s, and seventeen B787-9s. The carrier also has eighteen A350-1000s, eighteen B777-9s, and twelve B787-10s on order with the manufacturers. In 2018, it also signed a commitment to lease three further B777-300(ER)s from an unspecified lessor to replace the outgoing B777-200s.
Editorial Comment: The article has been updated to reflect the 2018 order for three leased B777-300(ER)s. - 01.07.2019 - 08:10 UTC
