There are two cabins accommodating Features the 2013 update of BA's "Stretch" ergonomically designed seat, which are arranged in pairs comprised of forward facing aisle and rear facing window/centre seats. The centre E seats offer more lateral personal space plus additional storage. Each seat has a small drawer to store your personal items. The video display is double hinged unit allowing direct viewing from a variety of angles. Note, the display must be stowed during take-off and landing.
When the seats are converted to flat beds, access/egress typically involves stepping over your neighbour's feet. Seats 3A, 3E, 3K, 7A, 7E, and 7K located at the rear of each cabin avoid this obstacle.
There is typically a few inches of "breathing" space around the edges of the foot stool which allow you extend your feet beyond the cushioned surface.
