Sorry for the delay, guys.
Seat is similar to the 777/787 pods, although it's definitely not the same base model, there are lots of subtle differences.
I feel like the footwell is even smaller than on the 777s. Generally, I would say it feels a bit tighter than either the 777 or 787.
Screen definitely feels smaller than the other widebodies.
Nice to see they finally put some bins over the interior seats in J. Disappointing that they didn't replace the outer bins with better ones, but having those bins in the middle should substantially improve the situation.
Overall, it's good that they modernized the cabin as those XM ones were outdated and worn out. But it does feel like a step down (or half a step down) from the experience you get on the 777 or 787.
Nitehawk, as far as best seat in J, I always prefer windows. Now that it's 1-2-1, A or K doesn't matter. I don't know whether there's any additional room in row 1 as I was back in 2 or 3, but I don't actually feel like there's all that much extra room there on the other aircraft either. I generally like to be towards the middle of the cabin to avoid the galley noise. But I don't think there's much of a difference.
