Good question. Unfortunately, I didn't try the flat position. But I'd guess no difference since the seat itself is the same. In a flat position the shoulder/elbow room issue is probably the same. Although I still think that the rear facing window seats would feel less claustrophic. In either case, the seats are so narrow to begin with that sleeping on your side may be the only comfortable position.
