I am currently seated in 81A - can anyone report on the engine/wing-view for your average avgeek, for some GoPro shots?
Is there any limitation in space in the bulkhead seats for 6" person?
From what I understand from this thread, rows 81-82 are mostly reserved for SEN/HON holders - and they have been showing up as blocked on expertflyer until today.
My other window options are: 87A on the left side 86K, 87K, 88K on right, however, they all have someone in the aisle.
My 81A has B empty so far and I always prefer not to disturb the person next to me.
Any suggestions from fellow travellers?
Last February, I got 82A and 82K (on the return flight), the first one with paid upgrade at check-in desk and the last one with MyOfffer (Plusgrade).
In both flights, I could not see the engines or the wings, so I suppose that will be the same thing with 81A. These seats are good because they seem to be quieter then others, but they are much on the front of the aircraft if you want to see the engines.
Rows 81-83 are in fact reserved for SEN/HON, but at the check-in on line time they are free to anyone on business to take. At the check-in desk, when I paid for the upgrade, the check-in agent told me that 82A was the only window seat available (and she offered me without question about my MM status, which is the "blue card"). I took it without thinking twice.
On the return flight, as soon as MyOffer was accepted (just one day before the on-line check-in), I opened the LH App to see which seats were available on the upper deck, and again, the only window seat available upstairs was 82K. I could take it even before the on-line check-in and even not being SEN/HON.
I suppose that you will be able to see the engines/wings on 86K and 87A/K, but I have my doubt about 88K
