Now that I've found my plane, I can see an interior map and get the lay of the land. Mousing over items on Seat Guru's Boeing 747 airplane map's seating chart shows me a wealth of information; clicking on classes, for instance, gives me these nuggets:

  • Classes

      First, Club World, World Traveler Plus and World Traveler seats' pitch, width and class sleeping options (sleeping pods are available in First. and World Traveler Plus offers seats with an extra two inches of reclining room).
  • Class amenities

      Laptop connectivity: "First, Club World Business, and World Traveler Plus all feature in-seat laptop power connections. There are no connections in the standard World Traveler class."

      Video options: "First features individual personal video screens offering interactive games and up to 18 video channels plus a choice of 25 films exclusively for their Personal Video Player. Club World Business features personal video screens featuring interactive games and offering up to 18 channels of the latest film and television programs. In World Traveler or World Traveler Plus, every seat on long haul flights has its own 6.3 inch LCD video screen offering 12 video channels and a flight information channel. World Traveler Plus adds interactive games."

      Audio features: "All seats (offer) 12 audio channels (with) up to 4 talk-radio channels hosted exclusively for British Airways and the remainder as music channel choices."
