except it isnt. The seats ELAL uses were not designed to be deployed this way. The are not equally accessible from both sides. Even row number window seats have the "bulkhead" to the aisle, but the actual width of the space to get into the seat is so narrow that even a small person needs to get in sideways.flown on it now three times. Row 9 - (first row) window seats are the best seats (imo) in the cabin. Odd row window seats, have sufficient room to enter the seat, but have open space around your head facing the aisle, which has proven to be disturbing.
Also passenger to bathroom ratio is horrendous. 1 bathroom in front, for 32 passengers, plus 4 pilots/first officers crew. There are two more bathrooms behind the first class cabin shared with the economy plus section (24 more seats), and more crew. On the overnight flights I'd suggest waking up extra early to get in, the wait can be an hour.
There's more, always is with LY. Paraphrasing Abba Eban - never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
