Where is the best place to sit in the Boeing 777-300ER?

Rows 5 to 10 offer the best views as they are unobstructed by the plane's wings, while passengers should note that rows 11 and 13 have one window fewer.



The "best" seat in a Boeing 777-300ER in 2026 depends on your cabin. In Business Class, aim for the "bulkhead" seats at the front of each section for extra footwell space, or choose "A" or "K" seats for maximum privacy in the common 1-2-1 layout. In Economy, the "Gold Standard" is the Emergency Exit Row (often rows 40 or 59 depending on the airline), which offers near-infinite legroom. However, be aware that these seats often have fixed armrests (making the seat slightly narrower) and no floor storage during takeoff. For those who value a quiet flight, the front-most Economy cabin is preferred to avoid the engine noise and the "crowding" that happens near the rear lavatories. It is a peer-to-peer favorite to check SeatGuru or AeroLOPA for your specific airline's configuration; for example, on Cathay Pacific or Emirates, certain rows might be "windowless" (like 15A or 19K), which can be a major disappointment if you were hoping for a view. Avoid the very last row, as these seats often have limited recline and are adjacent to busy galleys.

Which Seats to Avoid. First, I'd avoid any seats up against a bulkhead wall (typically in the last row of a cabin), since recline will be limited. That includes seats 51A and B (pictured above), along with 51K and L. In this category, you'll also want to skip 22DEFG, 37ABC, 37DEFG, 37JKL and the four seats in row 52.

A380: Definitely more comfortable with better cabin pressure compared to others. I hated the extended take-off time as the plane is generally pushed to some gate far away at the airport. B777: I've flown with most B777 models and mostly flown with 300 ER which is a pretty good plane for long haul.
