Any recent thoughts on the 12 seat FC cabin?
1B is my first choice. 3B would be my second. Is the flight odd or even? FEBO may be the deciding factor for me if there is a choice of seating.

I was in 3B last week and when the person in 2B reclined their seat, I could not stow the tray table. The FA asked him to sit up so that the tray table could be folded.

I've never had this problem on the A319. It felt like there was less pitch than in EC. I don't know if it was this specific aircraft or A320's in general.

Don't like the fewer seats. Fly MSp-Bos frequently. I do better with UGs flying AA thru Ord as Plt than NS on DL as DM. Once I get a DL 16 seat plane though I do we'll with UGs but starting to erode there too out of MSp.

Based on the feedback it looks like I will choose 1B or 1C. At least I won't have to be concerned about recline.

Row 3 has full recline as there is just a curtain between coach and first. Row is solid too from the coach side of things.

There are no FC seats on the A320. That bare-bones product they offer compares to Premium Economy on most real carriers.

Except on real carriers you get IFE and in-seat power.

Which domestic carriers offer nose-to-tail IFE and in-seat power fleet-wide?
