I think these seats are ok although I am slightly concerned with the final flight from Dubai back to Glasgow as this is behind the "bulkhead". I'm not entirely sure what that means in terms of seat comfort so I would appreciate some feedback as to whether these are good seats or not.

As you can see from the final flight to Glasgow, I do have the option of taking one of the centre aisle seats. Would that be a better seat than a side aisle seat at the bulkhead.

Also, whats the difference between a lie flat seat and a sleeper seat ?

And lastly, seatguru website suggests that the bulkhead is behind row 6 rather than in front of it ? Which one is right ?

Thanks a lot for any feedback.
They are two class flights.

The seat you are in on your last flight is next to a bassinet seat so there is a risk you'll be moved. I would grab a centre aisle seat now rather than risking being moved to a middle seat.

The lie flats are newer and much better. They are clamshell design so if the person in front reclines it does not intrude on your space.

Row 6 is in it's own little cabin IIRC, behind a bulkhead.

His bulkhead seat is not in the centre so no chance of someone cutting across.
