We used the bassinet in 5AB on EWR-LAX 752 p.s. service today. mherdeg basically covered it, but I'd add that it's really not very long - it's no more than 28" in length. Like baby mherdeg, baby choatie really didn't like it. Perhaps it's just too isolated? We ended up holding her for all but 20 minutes of meal service - she's a calm baby and was generally happy throughout the flight, but would only tolerate the bassinet for about 10 minutes.
The mirror on the lid is useless, with the cabin darkened you can't even tell if there's a baby in there, much less see its mood or if it needs anything. Even with the shades open and well lit, the optical clarity is quite poor and the image is small enough that I doubt you could make out any details.
The FAs were all pretty curious though, they said they'd never seen anyone use the bassinet before.

Do lap infants get credit for lifetime miles? I thought
award tickets don't get lifetime miles?
