A no brainer?

Can book one of the premium economy seats (but not PY service per se) on a 777HD overnight flight, YVR-YYZ, for $52. Coming off of a 2 hour flight from Prince Rupert on a Dash8 and ultimately headed to Deer Lake, Newfoundland in the morning.

I'm assuming this falls into the category of "you'd be insane not to", right? Unfortunately can't avoid the domestic 777HD as it is the only flight that works that had redemption space.

The consensus here was yes at $63.

The seats are sold as priority seats on domestic legs. You can book the seats and pay the fee if you do not have status.

Seems worth it to me, but I'm the exact same guy who WON'T pay for an E+ seat from IAH-YVR because at $65-$89 USD, I don't think it's worth it as long as I can get an aisle seat.

I'm a pretty low maintenance flyer, of course I wanna be as comfortable as possible and I've yet to fly really long haul outside of a YVR-DUS trip once, but if I have an aisle seat, some decent movies, I'm pretty well ok.

That said, I wouldn't fly Rouge from YVR-KIX unless it was basically free. I asked on a YYC-LAX flight if the 767 seats were any better and she only said "it's a little bit better". Not sold lol.

Okay, the cabin is wide open, PY on the 77P. What are the best 2 seats? I have the first row (Row 12) booked, but Seatguru cautions on proximity to washrooms and the galley as issues.

Is this really a concern?
