I just flew in 6L and actually quite liked the privacy of that seat, though if the galley is in full swing it may be bothersome.
8 hours in essentially what is a herringbone lay out is just too much. I guess for Jfk-Mia, Dfw-Lax, etc its not as bad. I dont like the 2 tables how many of you do though. Feel very confined.
Also, I see a lot of the comments that the rear facing feels more private but its not like there is ever a complaint on the 789 or B/E 772's that people felt exposed or not private. They are just fine for that. Its just something that comes up in comparison to forward facing And again, I'd personally rather just face the window than the aisle and be looking at people and have the bad neck turn to see out the window.
Wasnt 6L annoying with the lav right there? I think I'd prefer 7L if i had do it just to be somewhat away from the lav. And to not rock.
