Flown this twice in the last year (Europe to CLT). I’m 6’ 4” and if I’m not in business, seats 9AB are hands down my favorite economy seats in the entire fleet for me and my wife.
I'm with you on 9AB (and 9GH for that matter), but, man, in 9CDEF you risk getting stepped over by all the non-frequent flyers who think that the bulkhead is a corridor for cutting from starboard aisle to portside aisle (for the bathroom); or just folks doing laps, sometimes with babies and small children. Watched a lot of that from 9G in a recent passage -- the folks in 9CDEF finally started putting their legs up and saying "no." Not very pleasant either way (putting up with it, or fighting back).
