Yeah, those 744s are showing their age, and as much as I like the type in general, I stay away unless I'm on the upper deck or in Row 1
But not all longhaul is as bad as you experienced: their A380 is actually very decent in Y, especially when you can snag an exit row on the upper deck or 25D (the 'throne seat' downstairs). Give that a try should you fly to LAX!
