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!
I can only assume that with your 1K, MM status (like me), you couldn't get an exit row seat.
