E+ is definitely BETTER though. E- 747 is very tight. I would avoid that at all costs on a 14 hr flight

Yes, admittedly I haven't (or can't remember) what E- is like on the SYD 744 but I have to say I was very disappointed with E+. I guess my expectations had been puffed up by the enthusiasm expressed on FT and the seductive advertising made by UA about the virtues of E+. E+ on the 752 deserves all those accolades, but not in my opinion the 744, and I wonder how many other FTers (as well as those who cough up the bucks to buy into E+) feel let down (or duped) when they grace those 744 buckets to SYD

Anyway, the good news for me was that it was nothing that a couple of reds and an ambien could not fix
BTW, our flight was full to the max, not a spare seat in F, C or Y and was told by at checkin it's that way until August!
