Thanks for your report, will keep reading.
Good to know that you're trying out EgyptAir. Although I suggest you keep your expectations low
In the near-flat mode the seat on the 77W was fairly comfy, although in bed mode you slide down quite easily. I much preferred the seat on the Airbus.

There does seem to be a large difference between the 777 / 787 product and the old 767 product and with that awful departure time, you'd want a decent bed.
I'm not one to usually suggest improvements to trip reports, but since you asked for comments... if you put the equipment type in the header of the flight that you took, it makes it easier to search the forum to see what kind of seats you can expect with an MS A330 etc... (instead of having to read through the report). Fabulous photos though, the lie flat seats look great.
Thanks for your feedback, I'll remember to add the aircraft type next time! As for the 767s it's quite a mixed lot with different aircraft each with a different configuration. That same applies for the 757 fleet. Honestly for an alliance carrier their level of inconsistency in the hard product is pretty unacceptable, but needless to say I was very happy with the switch to a 77L.
