Also, how do people feel about facing the rear of the plane - is it similar to being on a train while facing the rear? I like flying and seeing the back of other people's heads, but not sure if I want to be looking at fellow pax faces or other pax seeing my face for a long flight Even with passengers next to me, I still feel that I have privacy if nobody is looking directly at me.

Facing the rear of the plane sucks. It is a weird felling that only a FA needs to experience.
It also is uncomfortable to stare at the person across from you the whole flight.
Virgin did it the right way by angling them.
