Hello all,

Mrs. cbc812 and I will be flying LAX-SYD in a couple of months with our infant son. We've booked 29E & 29F (EC center bulkhead) for the outbound and return with the intention of using a bassinet (SkyCot) for our little guy.

I am currently GUC waitlisted, hoping to have my wife ride up front so she can rest when not feeding, but have noticed in pics available online how the SkyCots tend to dominate the bulkhead wall. It would seem that the bassinet would at least marginally impact my would-be seatmate in 29E should the UG go through.

My question to anyone who has experience with SkyCots on this aircraft is if that is indeed the case, and whether it would be advisable to withdraw the GUC in order to avoid giving 29E an unpleasant surprise on a long flight.

Thanks in advance for your help and/or derision. Cheers!
