I've actually ridden in coach a 3 times in the last 5 or 6 weeks on an A333.

Row 6 is the bulkhead - the seatmap start at row 7 like posted above due to the bulkhead being blocked out until day of flight. I just returned Tuesday from MAD and I enjoyed my ride (as much as possible in Y) in seat 7G. I like an aisle but also like to be able to peek out a window. I like A/B or G/H sides on the 333. The G seats did have a small equipment box - not as big as the seat next to me in 7H.

For some reason I was feeling nice and traded my 7G on the PHL>MAD leg for a husband/wife to sit together. I took her 33G... BIG MISTAKE. The seat upfront seemed to have 32 inches of pitch or so (a guess). I'm 6'3" and my knees didn't touch. In 33G the Fuselage starts to taper back and the row was slanted and narrow - My knees were touching.

I would recommend anything near the front of the plane... trust me it's very bad in the back.

US.com shows Y starting as row 7 (not 6 or 8). What is the best seat in Y on the a330-300 (i am assuming its that bulkhead row, but any particular seat in that row, or any other seat in the cabin)?

Also, what is IFE/meail/seat like on that? Thanks!
