My experience

Flew the two segments Thursday and Sunday.

The first leg of the flight had a pretty packed economy section, but EC was almost empty, maybe three seats were taken. The FAs policed the seats initially, but after take off, they did not seem to care if people moved into EC, which I found annoying. I was hoping to take an open row to lay down in and sleep, but someone else (non-paying EC) had already done that.

I sat in 19B, 19A and C were open, but I still had about three occasions where I was stepped on by someone. The extra space is nice, but people are not that observant or courteous when you stretch out. If you are 6'1" or shorter you are just as well off in a row behind in an aisle seat IMO. (I sat in 22C on the return, which had plenty of space for me who is 6' 1".)

Thanks for your advise for this trip.
