BA flights

[Hayabusa]

Has anyone flown on the BA 777 that flies into Tampa from Gatiwck lately. Last time I read about it everyone was saying that the seat sizes were for small proportioned people, and at 6'4' tall this wouldn't suit me a great deal.

Thanks,

Nick

BA's fleet rotates all around the world and there is not one just one aircraft for that route. I have copied some seat pitch info below.

If it's any help I'm 6'6" and 20st [:I]

We flew with US Airways Gatwick-Charlotte-Orlando on their Airbus 333. 34" leg room :D and the seats were a bit wider than usual but still a bit of a squeeze!.

We decided against BA & Virgin as they wouldn't guarantee any pre-booked seating (I'm disabled) and at 31" or 30" seat pitch they are just too uncomfortable for me. We've also flown with Martinair/KLM to Orlando, they were 32" and quite narrow but they did reserve and guarantee me bulkhead seating when we booked.

There's a good site at http://www.uk-air.net/ which has a good section on seat pitch for various airlines/aircraft.
