No (for a reason). If you can get out of row 6, do it. Rows 2 and 6 are the worst rows in Envoy on the A330. Aside from Row 1, which is obviously the best, the best rows are 3, 4, 5, 7, 2 and 6 in that order. Row 2 (which I have gotten stuck in) and Row 6 have limited leg room.

Absolutely. The OP does not want to spend a lot of time in Row 6. Leg room in this room is rather poor.

The desirability of row 6 and 7 also depend on the number and decibel level of the babies in row 8. :rolleyes:
not bashing travelers with babies, but more than once I have had to endure hours and hours of screaming......

I was in Row 2 and had plenty of space. I guess it depends how much room you need...I'd agree that Row 6 is bad bc of the possibility of babies behind you. However, crying babies are an unfortunate risk in all cabins, really, having just spent 5 hours with one behind me in F.

I'm only 6 feet tall, but cant fully extend my legs with the seat reclined in Row 2 or 6. The bulkhead wall is in the way. If you're shorter, this might not be a big deal. Regardless, rows 1 or 3-5 are definitely superior.

I'm only 5 ft 8, but have noticed that, although the seats are identical, your possibility to stretch out fully is a little limited in Envoy rows 2 or 6 on the A330. It wasn't a big deal for me, but it could be if you are taller.
Try to get a seat with other seats in front, as then, when you recline fully to go to sleep, your feet tuck nicely into the empty space under the seat in front instead of your toes tickling a bulkhead wall! In these rows, my little feet couldn't even touch the seat in front even if I wanted to kick them! Which I didn't. Also, in 2 and 6, although the FA's are very polite and considerate, you do get some light/noise from the galley directly in front of you. Last time I was in row 2, I countered this by asking for a large Jack Daniels during the movie and slipped on my eyeshades when it was over. Worked a treat!

Although I believe you were already corrected on this point in another thread: There is no galley immediately in front of Row 2 in Envoy on the A330 (or the 767 for that matter). There is one galley located between rows 5 and 6 and the 2-L door and the galley up front is in front (well in front) of Row 1, not Row 2. Moreover, there are two bulkhead walls in between your Row 2 seat on the A330 and the front galley. I don't know what A330 you've been flying on, but it's not US's :confused:
