AC class these as preferred seats, but Seat guru say they have restricted legroom.

Do any of you have experience of these seats?

(I know most of you fly business but it is worth a try!)

Are they as preferred as AC make out?
IIRC the seats in row 18 are nothing special, slightly better leg room and no seat in front of you, but the armrest donīt move and the seats are slightly more narrow.

The only advantage of these seats is that the person sitting in the window seat may be able to get out while the person in the aisle seat is asleep.

Btw, I donīt think *G members can book these seats free of charge except if theyīve booked a Latitude fare (booking classes B and Y)
