I would reccommend taking American. By Autumn, you will have the choice of flying through either Chicago or New York (JFK) and taking a 777 to Heathrow. Also by that time, the 737-800 you would fly on the domestic leg would definitely have More Room Throughout Coach, so you would have plenty of room on that leg. Whether the 777 would have the modification yet is questionable as they are not beginning reconfiguration of the 3-class fleet until the 2-class fleet is completed. AA's PTVs in the main cabin offer quite a few movie selections, as well as short-subject programming and 10 video games. In total, I believe there are 10 video channels, 12 audio channels, 10 video games, and the moving map.

Sounds like you should fly Delta. Delta offers 2-5-2 seating on all our 777s and you could connect in Atlanta. Delta has the best ontime performance of all the major United States airlines.

Alternatively, you could fly Continental from Seattle/Tacoma to either
Newark (3 flights per day) or Houston (multiple flights) and connect to
a 777 with a 3-3-3 configuration across the pond to London/Gatwick.
Oops, you wanted to sit together. Then, UA has 2-5-2 seating in their
777's, so you could fly Seattle-Chicago-Heathrow or Seattle-LAX/SFO
to Heathrow, or via JFK, but then you'll be on a 767-300ER, on the
JFK-LHR leg.
American Airlines charges for the use of their PTV's. UA, CO, do not.
I wouldn't fly Delta, unless you can fly through CVG. The Atlanta hub
is awful and it takes forever to get from one gate to the next. Delta's
inflight service on international routes in economy is indifferent and
there are often delays.

I would suggest flying SAS from Seattle to London and connect in Copenhagen. Now before I get flamed on the whole "rather connect in a US city, here me out. Copenhagen Airport is listed within the top 5 of all airports in the world based on amenities, cleanliness and efficiency. I have been there twice and its a fabulous place to visit. Heck I've had the pleasure of staying the night there and you could even go to Tivoli Garden (nice "amusement" park) to catch some entertainment!!!
Now you'll be flying on a 767 which you said you didn't want to, but SAS' service is outstanding!!! and they only have a 2-3-2 configuration!!

I think the best inflight PTV System for this route are availble in the Continental 777 also the best service !!
But the second best choice what you can do is flying from London Gatwick with DL 777 Service direct to Atlanta and ahead to Seattle on a 757 Jet or something. Or fly direct with BA 747-200 Coach Class and you can sit in the Upper Deck !!!!

Naimas,
The fastest route from SEA to London besides BA, is NW codeshare with KLM. You fly in a DC-10(2-5-2) from Seattle to Amsterdam, then from Amsterdam to London. It is very quick, my mother has taken it before. Dont take AA or UAL and go across the country. It is alot longer. Take NW and KLM its the best choice. Check it out.
