LH A330 row 27 question
I am booked on an LH flight A330 configuration that has two rows immediately behind Premium Economy that are in front of the restrooms (row 27 in 2-3-2 configuration and row 28 with just the 2 seats next to the restroom). These rows are sold as more expensive seats with extra legroom. According to Seat Guru, they are listed as restricted legroom due to bulkhead. Has anyone been in these seats and can confirm whether they indeed have restricted legroom or extra legroom? Like the premium economy area, there are only three seats in the middle section of this row (instead of 4) which seems like it might be worth it to pay for since I am traveling alone and could get the aisle.

Seatguru failed again.
Just had seat 27D yesterday. All seats in row 27 have tons of leg room; even more legroom than premium economy seats. Row 28 seems to have about the same amount of legroom as premium economy.
My foot couldn't reach the seat in front of me even if I wanted to.
And there is no bulkhead between rows 26 and 27. Only a partial mesh screen separates premium economy and row 27.

Each seat has a video screen stowed in the armrest, including seat 27D. The seatback video screen in front of seat 27D is for public announcements like safety video and flight info.

For those who might worry about their seat neighbor being of "greater than average size" and possibly having their body squish beyond and under the armrest and against your leg, with this seat it can't happen. The divider between the seats is literally a metal wall, so your hip can't touch theirs. (They could still come over the top, though. The wall is only as tall as the armrest.)
A warning for those who possess such a body type, you will literally suffer the entire flight because you might not even fit into the seat, as was the case for a lady at the other end of my row on my most recent flight.
