but, yes, certain seats on the 788 have relatively restricted foot space in my opinion.

p.s. 6’5” and *highly* aware of small differences in space between different seats!
Interesting comparisons... I'm 6'0 and haven't noticed any foot comforting issues (yet). But I tend to aim for the mini-cabin window seats on my recent 788 trips (SFO-ORD-DFW-ORD-SFO) and 789 (DFW-SCL-DFW). And taking the A330 several times (SFO-PHL-SFO), I will have to say that overall, I prefer the 787-series planes (window seats) over the A330 in general. Have had the chance to occupy the bulkhead seats on the A330. My "complaint" about being seated there was the proximity to the galley and the chatter coming from the FA.
