How flat is almost flat? Is it just the foot part that is not flat? Does the rest of your body lie flat, just not your feet? I'm considering upgrading the flight.
Hm. When I tried to check in a few days back, it walked me through the seat selection and then told me that I had to contact the checkin staff. At the checkin desk they told me that I was actually already checked in, they just had to print out my boarding pass.
Yeah it is almost lie flat in that your feet are angled slightly downwards. And there are occasional minor glitches on some seats (cheap seat choice? lack of maintenance? stuff like trays / TV sets not sliding out easily etc). The seat is a bit hard though compared to some others - but with my back problems that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
