SAS EuroBonus - Seeking advice about seats in SAS economy

I hope this is the right place to post this question?!


I'm in charge of planning a trip to NYC next week for my self and a couple of friends. We've booked return flights with SAS as they fly direct CPH-EWR at a fair price. My question is if I've booked the "right seats" for our return flight.
We are returning to CPH on SK910 which as far as I know is an Airbus A340-300 and the seats we've booked is in row 23 (C, D and E) just behind the Economy Extra cabin. The reason for booking these seat was due to the description at seatguru: "Seats have a little extra legroom as you are only separated from the section in front of you by a curtain. The electronics under the seats are also less of an issue since you are aligned differently".
I now the width is slighty reduced because of the TV in the armrests but if we are looking for seats with legg room can you then recommend these seats? (My worse nightmare would be if it turned out that instead of a curtain it was a wall between economy extra and economy which wouldnt make it possible to stretch out our legs all the way back to DK).

Thanks a lot for your feedback in advance.

These seats definitely have a little bit of extra legroom (a few inches) and personally I don't find reduced width form the TV/table in the armrest to be an issue at all. There is no wall between Eco and Eco Extra.

Seats 31ABGH definitely have the most legroom but row 23 is a good second choice if 31ABGH are unavailable.

only problem is that seat 23c and 23f is at risk of getting the service cart bumping into them

Thanks oermen and Claes. Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Just a quick update on the flight with SAS now I'm back in DK.

I was sitting in 23C on the way from CPH to EWR and also on the way from EWR to CPH. Even though it was the same seat number it was in a different "location" as it was the 330 to US and the 340 back. On the return flight 23C was just behind the curtain to economy extra.

Food and drinks was okay for economy class. So was the service.
Leg room was actually better than I expected. Not huge but enough for a person of a height of 185 cm to be sitting comfortable for 8-9 hours.
The entertainment system is still not on demand in economy and as it's not listed anywhere what time the different movies starts this was really anoying for all 3 of us.

However - The worse thing was the temperature. It wasnt bad for my friends who was sitting at the two seat close to the window (23A and B) but for all aisle seats (C and F) there was a cold wind coming straight towards me all the way from the vents over the overhead locker. According to the stewardess it is always a problem "in the middle of the aircraft". If this is true I will recommend anyone from booking these seats as it was seriously cold (I normally like it when it's not too hot but this was crazy).

I much prefer row 20/23 over row 31. Row 31 is just too noisy. Granted, I'm just 170cm, so even regular Y seats have enough room for me.

I agree about the noise in row 31, especially in the "corner". Was seated once in 31A on an A340 and I gave up watching a movie since I couldn´t hear the audio properly due to cabin noise.
But beeing on the tall side , I would still prefer that seat, because of the unlimited legspace and the ability to get up and about without having to disturb your seatmate.
