The buddy seat is narrow. At 6'2" 210lbs I'm guessing you're not really wider than I am, just taller. It's a squeeze into the buddy seat. But it may work for you. If you were 5'2" and 210 I'd guess it wouldn't come close to working
You still may want your wife to take the buddy seat, though, if she's the slighter one of the two of you.
2. Did I understand you correctly in a comment mentioning that the two of you could fit together side by side on a seat? If so, I assume there's no way to watch a movie together, since there's just a headset for one person, right?
We fit side-by-side but it's not really a long-term play, pop over for a visit for a few minutes but it's not
really a double seat and indeed only one headset (though if you were bringing your own entertainment you might be able to watch something together of course).
3. Finally, I noticed your and other folks' comments about the Chinese dishes being better than the Western ones. Having flown CX in J a number of times, the food (whether Chinese or Western) is about the only aspect of the CX experience that I've found only so-so. Am I correct in assuming that F isn't much better, but that (at least in your opinion) the Chinese is at least ok and the Western dishes pretty bad?
The food is
fine but not great. CX food doesn't approach NH or OZ food, for example, that I find to be downright
good. In general I just think the Chinese options are
better.
