I find that if I can't extend my legs to that degree I quickly end up with sore legs and hips.

My legs are long enough that this is unlikely to happen, unless there really is a ton of legroom.

As often happens Seatguru seems to fly in the face of actual experience and reports 7G on the A332 as yellow. YMMV!

Still wondering if there are any differences worth noting between row 8 and row 25 on the A330-300?
