Thanks for the response sqyf! I think I'll give the exit row a try for my flight tomorrow, and if I like it I'll switch out my return seating assignment. I personally find seat pitch a little tight in SQ PE so I'm happy to try the bulkhead and take a risk re the PTV.
Re the newer config, I assume that's only on aircraft which also have the new Suites product installed - is that correct? Mine has the old style suites, so I assume it's the traditional layout. As far as the bulkhead rows are concerned, apart from where they are on the aircraft does it make any real difference to the experience?
