In BF I always have a few glasses of wine and sleep like a baby, something tells me this will be a very different flight
Im also 6'2" and have sat in Row 32 many a time. the good is there will be no one in front of you except those who decide to stand there, so you dont have to worry about smashed knee caps, and once you start to hit them with your feet/leg/s they will tend to move out of there, thusly saving your feet from being stepped on
however, the padding on these seats is alot worse then on the reg seats, since the tray table is in the arm rest you lose appx an inch or so or width to the seat , so if you arent Slim Jim you probably will be some what crushed. Your IFE screen is a personal 1 that pulls up from the side and sort of under your seat , which can make getting out from and back into your seat alittle bit of a hassle till you get use to it.I believe the part of teh seat you sit on is a little shorter in length as well, always wanted to measure it but never did
If its a very full flight I still will sit here rather then in a reg seat w/o the leg room and get my knees smashed for me. I have however switched to a reg aisle seat when I knew the middle seat was gonna remain empty , that gave me the leg room I need and I pulled the arm rest up so had more width as well. Even better is those few times I had a whole of 3 seats to myself.
