On Saturday, Kelley and I flew British Airways London LHR to San Jose SJC on the Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner. We were assigned seats 43 H-J in the last row of economy class. We checked in for our British Airways flight at Stockholm Arlanda ARN on Friday afternoon and flew to London LHR with a 21.5 hour transit layover 5:30pm-2:55pm.
Turns out I selected those seats in April when I purchased our tickets. The seat arrangement showed 43 A-B and 43 H-J as the only two seat sections; four seats in 127 economy class seats section of the aircraft.
Seat 43H is a standard World Traveller seat in the last row of the plane. This seat might have limited recline. The close proximity to the lavatories and galleys behind might be bothersome. As one of the only twosomes in the World Traveller cabin, this seat might be ideal when traveling with a companion.
Dreading this as BA not first choice in recent months for long haul. 14.10 mins flight was i have to say great..we had the two seats together at the back and were more than happy to pay extra to reserve. Food good,crew excellent and flight flew by..sorry for pun! Agree with the review for seats 41..no windows..which manufacturer thought of that??
Flew in this seat from PHL to LHR overnight. It was great as part of a couple & the new Dreamliner was a very pleasant flight. The seats reclined and I was never disturbed by lavatory traffic.
My photo of 42 J-K shows there is not much space in K window seats on the 787-9 with the AV box beneath the seat in front. K window seats have the AV box taking up floor space directly in front of the right leg position.
We switched seats, since Kelley was trying to sleep and I was awake watching movie #1, Allied, starring Brad Pitt. My flight plan was binge watch four films and play trivia quiz for the 10.5 hour flight.
10.5 hours of flight time is a long time to remain seated. I used the blanket as extra padding for my butt. I liked being in the last row with the ability to get up when I desired and nobody or drink cart blocking my access to the toilet or galley for water drinks during the flight.
By the way, delightfully feel good movie #3 in my flight binge was A Street Cat Named Bob, based on a true story of down and out drug addicted folk singer-busker James Bowen in London. He finds himself bonding with a stray ginger cat. Their relationship plays a significant role in changing both lives. The real Bob the cat plays his cat self in the film. This is a charmer drama for anyone who enjoys cats. Good music too.
I asked and was told by a flight attendant that no carry on bags are permitted in the foot well during takeoff and landing, you have to stow your bags (even personal item) in the overhead. In practice I doubt most flight attendants would notice, the foot well is deep and angled.
On my first run through the seat had the slowest recline to flat I have seen. It was probably the first time that particular seat was moved to the flat position. I tried it again and it worked much faster the second time.
- No dividers between middle seats. This is a show-stopper for solo passengers in the middle seats, in my opinion, the aisle seats are the only ones a solo passenger will want (though the middles are great for traveling with someone). Since the middle seats are even angled slightly towards each other, the lack of privacy is accentuated.

I find that having a fixed video screen is a plus not a minus. Movable video screens must be stowed for takeoff and landing. On some flights I have had attendants demand that movable video screens be stowed as much as 30 minutes before landing. On the 787-900 we had video programming available from the time we sat down until the flight arrived at the gate.
On my return flight I was upgraded from premium economy to one of the middle seats in business on the 787-900. I lacked sufficient willpower to decline the upgrade and I wanted to try the middle seat in business. Plus I knew you would report on your experience with the premium economy seat. As a solo traveler I agree that the window seats in business on the 787-900 are definitely preferred.
@Beachfan only the angled seats are expected to be retrofitted, the 787-8 and 777-200 seats that bounce when another passenger moves in a seat connected to yours and where the center privacy divider is locked either up or down are here to stay.
