My husband left on this route yesterday (773 - 10 across in Y)
And is coming back on the 5th (772 - 9 across)
No status as he usually gets 25 and occasionally 50% mileage, so never makes the threshold. Clients are all very cost conscious (state or national institutions, mostly)
Was keeping a close eye on his seats - he is wide shouldered and finds he can sleep at a window seat. He also values seat width over leg room.
Realised that yesterday’s 77W ended up with about 14 empty seats, but these were ONLY in the main economy cabin. None in the E+ Section and none in Polaris.
He was in 41A with a spare seat between him and the next chap. For him that’s luxury.
Am hoping the spare seat next to him on the return stays empty, but since it’s the 9 across configuration, I don’t need to cross my fingers quite so tightly.
Point is, that unless longer leg room is important to you, E+ might not be the best section to be in.
