Originally posted by Kiwi View PostNo I didn't, and that's not why they are the best seats. Due to no seat in front you have more personal space, less claustrophobic/enclosed.
The comments in brackets were not based on what you stated but rather my own perspective based on feedback I gathered elsewhere that 17A does not have that hole in the corner where a pax has to sleep in an angle with his/her feet there. My understanding is that one can sleep completely straight in 17A/K, is this not the case? I do agree with your feedback below that it would feel less claustrophobic since it's the first seat next to the gallery.

You can, but only if you are short (as SQFG pointed out).
On the other seats you are on an angle to get enough length. Same applies on the bulkhead seats. Difference is no hole for your feet because there isn't a seat above them...

Some observations I have on the new long-haul C that may interest those who travel with a companion:
The divider between seats D and F is really wide in the 300ER. This makes it difficult to hold a conversation with a companion.
In the 300ER, I'd pick A,D or F,K if I travel with my wife as I find it easier to talk to her across the aisle.
This does not appear to be the case with the A380 and A340-500. In these two planes, D,F combination seems to be better as the triangular space is not present.

People have said that 79A and 79K are great window seats as there is nothing behind to impede reclining your chair, but what about the aisle seats, 79C and 79H. I know the crew seat is right behind both C and H, but does it affect the seat's ability to recline.
I am also looking at changing to row 82 as well...right now I am booked in 77H both on SQ317 and SQ322. There is also the possibility I may just go and purchase 81A for both of those legs (trying to remember however if the side storage bin, 1) exists, 2) opens, and 3) how much space is there in the overhead compartment above those seats; if someone can answer those questions that would be great).
Oh, another thing. This year I am trying something different (for my "short" haul flights only). Instead of sitting as close as I can to the front of the plane, I am doing my best to sit the furthest back as possible (so I can take a window seat (I am an aisle person) and have the best view out possible without the wing being in the way). As such, I have booked the following seats
SQ859: B72A - 56K (first set of pair seats, 2nd to last row)
SQ946, SQ976, SQ175: B772 - 63K (first set of pair seats, 2nd to last row)
SQ941: B772 - 64K (second set of pair seats, last row)
Has anyone had any experience in these seats before, and can comment on what they are like (well maybe not in the B72A but with the unmodified version of the B772 [version 1]).
Thanks allI'm still waiting for my cookie as my first name is Kris
