little video screens in the seat backs, I was absolutely astounded at the
comfort and ride of this plane.

BA are now using them on the London - Houston run (they used to use
B747-400s on this route). Continental are using them on the same run
(they were using the DC10-10).

Out of these, the DC10 was by far the worst (but also the oldest). I'm
not a fan of the 2+5+2 seating arrangement - always travelling alone
means they put me in the middle of that bay of 5, usually between two
screaming children. (I can usually get a non-middle-seat on BA though,
which helps). The B747 wasn't bad, but the seats still felt like
concrete after 4 hours. The 777 is the only one that I can be
comfortable in the whole trip.

Last time I went to Houston I'd done something aggravating to my lower
back. The B777 seat was the *only* seat I'd sat in for at least a month
where I could be comfortable in. I was dreading the airline flight but
it ended up being the only time I had managed to sit down and not be in
pain for hours.
