It seems that the forward partition of the seat (footrest and TV) is spaced at the same distance forward as all of the other seats, so is getting out/over 77J any easier in this row as compared to the other rows? I've also read that footrests are larger (similar to bulkheads in 777), so that's a benefit, and having the exit aisle directly in front increases isolation a bit by increasing the distance from neighbors. I'm traveling 1A on return, so the upper deck experience is a plus, but I'm weighing if I should jump to 1A if it opens up. Seating often come downs to a personal decision, but I am seeking to understand what makes 77K unique.
Go for 1a and hope for lots of wind from the left when taking off or landing.. love that view!
