This answers the question I asked in another thread, thanks. But to be sure...do you know that row 18 has full recline as well as extra legroom? I ask because this middle section backs up to a galley/lavatory wall.

Wow, from what I have understood, not all aircraft have been fitted with the new BE product...but apparently that is a separate installation than the front Y cabin. Thanks for the info!

Does anyone know which row of seats in that front cabin has no window and just a wall in the place of where the window should be (probably electrical equipment back there or something?.

Yes, they were separate reconfiguration efforts. They rushed the effort to put in the front Y cabin for the start of the peak summer season. To date, I believe at least 8 of the 763ERs have been completely redone (i.e., refreshed BE seats and AVOD, all-leather Y seats, new signage, new lavs, front Y cabin) - all the ex-domestic 763ERs (ships 1701 - 1708 or N171DZ - N178DZ). But ALL 763ERs have had the front Y cabin added.

I believe 15F,G - bulkhead on the right side - have no window. Even though there is slightly more legroom there due to the bulkhead, those are pretty terrible seats as they are easily bothered by the noise and light, not to mention the BE serving carts, from the BE galley. On top of that, due to the configuration, there are no mesh curtains at that partition, so FAs generally use serving carts to block access from Y to BE; these carts are constantly in the way of 15F,G

No idea about the full recline; I will be on an ER this Friday (in BE ) if I board early enough, I will try to take a peek and maybe even test out the recline...we'll see

Thanks -- we, the huddled masses, appreciate it!
