So the middle passenger has a strangely shaped bed and can only get in and out via the passageway in front of 5D. And in order to make that passageway wide enough, the right corner of the footspace for 5D is "clipped," meaning the footspace tapers on the right side and scrunches the feet of the person in 5D.
We're taking the 777-300ER LAX-NRT next week. Do you have the same concerns about 5H & 5K? Also, does the single J class row feel squeezed? Thanks!
