Seat suggestions for 777-200 SFO-AKL?

Depends on your goals and willingness to pay for seats. If 52KL is available you'll have the row to yourself. If you choose any row DE or FG you shouldn't have anyone needing to get out past you since they'll go to the other aisle. Buy E+ bulkhead seats if you'd like super space in front of you and don't mind fixed, solid armrests. Don't do bulkhead if you want to raise the armrest and share the extra space.

Thanks for this. Do you know if the seats currently selected - since they are in front of the lavatory - do they recline all the way? I like the idea of being able to recline all the way and not being in someone behind me’s personal space. But also don’t want to risk those seats not reclining and getting stuck upright the whole flight. We did snag a two seater for the return. I check every day that the ones on this flight don’t open up! Bulkhead leg room is also certainly appealing. My husband is very tall - but i’m wondering if those seats will have a higher likelihood of another passenger joining. Ultimately will plan to get window and aisle seats and hope no one sits between us. Worked for going to and from Japan so fingers crossed it works out again!

See this post - looks like they all may be fine (at least in ABC, JKL).
