Nor me !

But no secret as the emergency hatch to the crew rest is right on front if it hence the missing seat and the mega leg room.

Feeling on flyer talk us that it will be reserved for high status passengers to get first dibs on.

Not much of a secret now is it though? Lol

This clearly is PR stirred up by BA.

How is 'first class legroom' unique? I believe the concept of an exit row was invented quite some time ago, and probably offers more space than this anyway, because, in exits, no one, yes, no one, is in front, whereas 25D actually has someone two rows in front.

To be honest, BA have been forced to make this sound like a secret because otherwise no one would know, (cause it's a strange location) and buy it. But at £50, I certainly will be staying by the exits!

If you see a head suddenly pop up between your legs, it might be time to worry.

From the seat plan it looked like some of the seats face backwards in CW?

On SQ you can reserve that seat from booking, regardless of status. First come, etc..

Around half of all the CW seats face backwards on all BA A/C.

BA Silver and Gold get to prebook their seats from booking, and Bronze from 7 days, so the higher status passengers get first dibs on any seat - unless you pay!
