There are eighteen great seats on these planes. They are almost always some of the last taken, even when the plane is filled with elites. The seats are better than regular E+ seats.
You guys seem to be talking about a different version of the aircraft than I am being shown for my flight. There are only 16 F seats. Row 7 is the only bulkhead in E, not the aircraft with row 7 on one side and row 8 on the other. Here's the seatmap on seatguru:

Does seat 21C really have a lot of legroom? It says 35" on seatguru. Would folks on this board take this flight? The time and price are what I like. Otherwise I'd normally fly LAX-JFK but summer fares are much higher than Newark the week I'm flying.
