ironically, all my "wishing" for that seat 11A was completely eliminated with a flight to LAX yesterday.
I forgot that 77D now has the "soiled linens" bucket immediately ahead of 11A/D (right behind 2A in F), and there was a constant stream of flight attendants flying past my seat yesterday (11A) depositing linens in that bin. I have flown on 77D in F and elsewhere in J (my preferred seats have been 24-26A/K), but this was my first time flying the mini-cabin on a long-haul flight in 77D. This will probably be my last.
While you can sometimes hear FAs depositing the soiled linens through the curtains when seated in 2A (annoying if the FAs are rather clumsy), the constant stream of FAs past my seat 11A was VERY noticeable. It was an endless train that turned around right at my seat. I expect it to be worst for 11A and D, and bothersome for 12A/D as well. Nothing like the bliss of long-haul in the mini-cabin on 77A, where the soiled linen bin was
behind (galley side) of 12A...a massive difference.
