Agreed, I just hate when the make these last minute changes. Being 6'4" tall I had hoped to get a decent rest on the new BE seats. I wouldn't care if it's on the return flight. ...
Kind of OT, but is the LieFlat really better than a good recliner at your height?
For me (6'2") I feel like I am at the absolute max height when in the 777LR seats. My feet are definetly up against the walls of the foot cubbyhole area. If I was any taller I tend to think I would not go lie flat, just recline mode.
