VS75/76, PE and Reclining

Hi guys, my first post so be gentle if this is like the billionth time these questions have been asked ;-(

We're off to Orlando in at the end of November. Booked PE as there's a high likely hood that Mrs will be pregnant with baby number 2. Outbound we are upstairs in 23K, 24H/K. Return downstairs in 18G/H/K. We are travelling with a 4 year old.

Do these back row seats fully recline? Upstairs, they are just in front of exits and downstairs, in front of the loo (chosen for child purposes). The proximity of both exit and toilet has me questioning whether I had done the right thing.

After seeing another thread on here as well about the LHR 747's, is there a chance the layout could change due to operations ? Should I regularly check our booking this far out? I'd be gutted to lose them now.

Thanks guys!

All of the 8 - 747`s out of LGW will all be the same layout by the time you go on hols there is no 747`s at LHR now. hope this helps.

I have sat in Row 19C which is at the back on the other side and that has full recline, but Seat Guru suggests 18H & K may have limited recline.

Upstairs in the bubble are my favourite PE seats, and the rear two rows are perfect. Too far forward and you can get people stood next to you queuing for the toilets. No problem with the seat recline in any seats.

seat guru is more often wrong than right.

Iike a certain airline ratings website is appears to have an influence beyond it's accuracy.

Yes, Seatguru is hit & miss when it comes to accuracy although it tends to be better for VS than BA.

But rest assured all seats in all cabins on all VS aircraft fully recline.
