Ok, I'm going to guess that 80-85% of the feedback here will be the answer "no", and for the record I tend to lean towards "no"... but I think it could be an interesting discussion...

For those of you who have flown on AF Affaires class with the angled-lie flat seats, you'll surely have an opinion here. I believe it's the same product on the B777, A340, and even A380. I've been in this seat on all 3 aircraft.

The seats have a fixed shell, and have a video monitor at eye level. On either side of the monitor is about 6 inches of flat, open space. Far beneath the monitor is the foot-well that you are supposed to put your feet in, which actually gets a little narrow and maybe a little cramped-feeling when the seat is fully reclined.

At least two or three times every flight, I find myself putting my feet up against the shell in front of me, because it feels comfortable. I immediately then recall the myriad discussions here about people putting their feet on the bulkhead, and I yank my legs down in shame.

So, would it be ok to rest your feet "higher up" like that, because it's sort of part of your seat - or is any foot resting above ground level unacceptable? Have at it.
