EC Bulkheads on the 74S
Hi all, I searched the 74S mod thread, the EC FAQ thread and the 74S-specific thread but can't find this info. FT's search feature is poor.
I see a lot of commentary on the unlimited legroom of 22C/H, but not much on the legroom of the other bulkhead seats 22ABJK and 24 DEFG.
Can anyone comment?
rwoman, if I've just missed it due to bad searching and you end up posting a link to some previous poster who answered my question exactly... sorry/thanks in advance.

It looks like your looking for specific information in regards to row 22, seat A/B/C on the 74S. As you mentioned, this is the bulkhead on the jumbojet. I had the pleasure of sitting in 22A from NRT to JFK last month. Loved it. No issues whatsoever. Loved the leg room. As often as I get up, I was never a bother to the people sitting in seat B and C. The seat was very comfortable and the view afforded views of the front of the wing. Overall, it was a very pleasurable experience and would not hesitate to choose this seat again. It made the 14 hour flight go by painlessly and quickly. Recline was more then generous, and the entertainment system was more then enough for the long haul back to the states.

Also are there bassinets in the row 24 center bulkhead or just 22B/J?

SG http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Del..._747-400_C.php says the legroom is pretty decent, but nothing mentioned about bassinets.

I actually prefer 22A or 22K as you get stepped on and bumped constantly on 22C or 22H. Even though the bathroom on 22HJK side is just for Biz, people will still insist on using it. So on either side, people will stand right in front of your seat and step on you or kick you while waiting for the lavatory or get something from the galley.
But on 22A or 22K, you are isolated enough. I was on 22H once and I never got any sleep due to traffic. To me, 22C and 22H are actually the worse seats in the plane in terms of traffic. So the legroom means nothing when you get stepped on or kicked or seat bumped every so often.
After 22 windows, I would go for 24 aisle as the traffic is less noticeable than 22 aisle.

i can confirm no bassinet in 22A/B/C. 22A is a great seat. Its prob only a matter of time until Delta makes 22A/B/C on the 74S super premium Economy Comfort. We should keep the rave reviews to a minimum.

For those saying 22 A and K are good seats: I tend to prefer the aisle because of the ease of getting up. Are you saying that it is still easy to get up and out of the row despite being a window seat, because of the extra legroom?
Also, the first post of rwoman's awesome FAQ thread says 22B/J have bassinet attachments. But in this thread people say there aren't. I am going to ask DL.

Just keep in mind that the armrests do not raise and the tray table is in the armrest. This makes the seat slightly narrower than the other coach seats. If your marginally a POS then you may want to reconsider.
IIRC correctly there are mounts for bassinets in the center bulk head rows. Only actually seen a bassinet once though. Been a while since I flew in Y on a TPAC. Good luck to you and have a nice flight.

I fly the NRT - DTW 74S routinely. I get up for a walkabout many, many times on the flight and select 24G as my seat of choice. It (and 24D) have one of the small overhead bins above it, making it so I can have my own. This facilitates getting stuff in/out since I can leave my work bag open and just clean everything up before landing. I can confirm that there is ample legroom.

My 2 Cents
I am just curious.....I am 6'3" and 240 lbs. Would I be considered a POS? I was in 22A on this aircraft in October flying from JFK--->NRT and back. For what its worth this seat was uncomfortable for me. I didn't have the legroom, nor, could I get out to the lavatories without the 2 petite woman getting up next to me. YMMV.

Was your lack of comfortableness based on the width, or the pitch?
