Pretty darn good although I have frozen the enterainment 3-4 times in a flight twice???? Only did first class and business class, favorite seat 11A on 77W, the back main cabin feels claustophobic and a graveyard of coffins to me

I want some opinion whether to choose 11AK or 12AK or 17AK (773ER). Right now I chose 17A so that i can see the engine during takeoff. This was also where I sat last time. But I'm wondering if 11AK and 12AK will be able to see the engine and wing during takeoff? I know 12AK only has 1 window same as 16AK.
Thanks for your suggestions.

i cant afford business class.......i shall take 38-40K so i can see the wings,if i take the first row of economy , it will be right in the middle of the wing !

Another issue with the seats is that some people do complain the new seats don't have enough lumbar support, making it very painful for the back for a long haul. however, i prefer the new seats because there's no one that pushes their seat into your face while the plane is STILL rolling down the runway and leaves their seat there for the entire flight, even for meals! (oh yes, personal experience... and the guy glared at the ISM when i asked her to tell the guy to push his seat up during meal time. he pushed back when he was finished and i was still eating. ohh so enjoyable )

You won't be able to see outside if you're on the first row of econ in the new 77A (since you're flying YVR-HKG). There's no window for the exit seats.
