I was in 7A, 2nd row of business, the guy in 6B put his seat back straight after take off, and left it there, until final approach, making it near impossible to get out, due to 7B being occupied by a snoring German !
Hope the A330 on the next leg in 4 hours is better, SO need some sleep. It's listed as having "deeply reclining seats" in business, not quite sure what this means, but if they are poor, it's time to burn some miles and go for a 7 hour nap in "F".
If I haven't said it enough times, I'll say it again. The A330 is the worst aircraft in the EK fleet, and god help you if you think it's going to be better than a 777. If I were you I'd reroute on another airline, aircraft or flight. Burning some miles for F isn't a bad idea, but have a look at the F product onboard before you do that. It's terrible. Well, not quite, but compared to the rest of the F seats, it's awful.
