So, booked a year out for an 8.5H overnight flight on this one and almost every seat is open. Two of us, so I grabbed 36A/ C for now, as at least rows 36-38 are in two-to-a-row configuration.

I can buy up to MCE for 17 (2-seat row bulkhead) or 26 (3-seat row exit) for $118 per seat each way.....hmmm, $15 an hour for 5 extra inches and a couple of alcoholic drinks (I realize this almost is sounding like a bad dirty joke, but not intended!).

Any other tips from recent fliers since this thread is a year old?
