I think I will wait to hear about the experiences from a lot of flyers before getting on a 10+ hr flight on a narrow body. Even 6 hrs can be tough, as I like to get up and walk around, which will not be easy on this type of plane. Give me a large wide body any day, and I'll deal with the need to connect by cooling my heals in a nice lounge .

And I feel for the crew..
Agree. I’m not onboard with joyful news of a long range narrow body option, especially in J. Even in a 1-1 configuration it could still feel crowded up front. I’d be happy to take it as a transcon but anything over 6 hours is not going to happen as long as other wide body options are available.
