Excellent in the single seats, horrible in the twin seats. In fact the bulkhead 1A seat would be my strong preference on this service. I tried both seat types just over a week ago travelling with Mrs LoM. The twin seats would be especially horrible if travelling with a stranger. You might well find yourself added to the sex offenders register as a result of trying to exit a window seat when you have a reclined seat mate. It isn't much better if your seat mate is upright, probably much worse if they are uptight
I thought the food was worse than the same route on the 777 or 744 but this might have been a coincidence of a poorer than usual menu. The single seats have acres of storage space, the twin seats have very little. As a result on my return journey my glasses fell down the seat and got mangled and scratched (cost over £150 to repair) in my attempts to move the seat to retrieve them. You really do not want the twin seats even if travelling with a companion. The solo seats are however much better than normal CW.
