Thank you. I have taken 25K on both planes. I could not believe how universal the griping was about people having their knees reclined onto. The only sound strategy seems to be picking from the bulkhead seats, no middle seats, or rear seats. I am taking your advice on the recline.
I will report back in this thread next week for any future flyer talk flyers. In the meantime if anyone else has some advice it will be appreciated.
