I flew it on Saturday, and with the caveat that the seats are still new (and therefore a bit buggy), I think the configuration is really nice.

On the right side of the plane, the odd-numbered rows have the best window access. The even numbered rows are technically window seats, but you have to lean across your storage area to see out the window. I can't say for sure how the left side of the plane is configured.

A couple of things I noticed:

1) The middle seats are MUCH better than the 777-200LR for companion travel. The window seats actually have window views, too.

2) The power plug is very easily accessible (finally!), and every seat has a large fixed table for resting laptops, reading material, etc.

3) The video screens are a bit larger than before on the other 767 configurations, but there don't appear to be many more options as far as entertainment goes.

4) My seat was a bit buggy and never really reclined completely flat, so I may have a mistaken impression, but the foot rest felt a bit odd - like both of my feet wouldn't fit completely on it. I think that if the seat had reclined completely it would have matched with the seat structure in front and been much more comfortable.

5) A bit of advice: Make sure your comforter is positioned the way you want it on your legs before you recline - it's nearly impossible to deal with while reclined because of the tight quarters where your legs are.

Sorry for the delay in getting this up - and for the lack of pictures.

Enjoy your flight!
