I liked being in the mini cabin in the back, as it felt less like a huge bus (airBUS haha). I also noticed that row 26 now has infinite legroom due to the cutouts in the foot wells, but unless you're an NBA player you should have plenty of room to stretch all the way out in a regular row. I was initially worried about the temperature sitting by the exit door, but I didn't notice any cold air in row 24. Row 25 D/G is right across from the door so you might feel some air. I did also notice that in D/G seats, people didn't seem to have too much trouble with the foot well that converges. I didn't see anyone playing footsie
. Row 23, 24, or 26 are probably some good rows to try, as you are in the mini cabin, and not too close to a galley or lav. You are also not right on the wing, making for a quiet ride being so far from the engines.
I would say that the new C seats and AVOD definitely put LH back up there with some of the better C I have flown.
Thanks for detailed reply. I am same height as you but really like window seats as i like to see where we are and see what is going on around us. Looking at the new seat map linked above looks like 26a would be key as the back lav is across the aisles on the other side so even though it is close it is far...
Is there a wall in front of 26 as it shows in the map or is that wall just the normal seat where the tv and foot rest are. I am thinking that was just the way to draw it so it didn't seem open in front.
