It sounds like it is a MR. Otherwise, I will strongly suggest you to go EWR-HKG instead - at least you will not get bored without your laptop and less time for travel.
1. i've got laptop, gf's ipad, and an ipod. i think btn what movies are being shown on big screen i should make it hopefully??!! *nervous smile*
2. i've read the thread- the question is- is the bulkhead wall so close that i may as well have a seat in front of me?
pros: it's bulkhead- if it's what i imagine, i should be able to stretch my legs onto wall (i'm 5'10"). ppl can walk around me no problem.
cons: limited recline (is this true?), narrower seats (i'm thin so no issue), no underseat storage, big screen= not good.
are the side bulkheads the same as the middle bulkhead (assuming it's a wall right in front of seat?). ALSO- should i just go for row 45? it's EXIT row/door seating.. i'm told that it's limited recline though...worth it for the extra legroom!?? (i'm so confused as to which is best E+ seat on the 747!
