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.
Yeah I have no problem with the forward facing B/E or 77W J seats, both feel more spacious and private than the forward facing Concept D seats though IMO.
To be honest it was only a 2 hour daytime flight so I wasn’t really bothered by the lav at all. I could never hear any noise from it and the angle is such that the door is far enough away you never really see people entering/exiting. Also it’s a bi-fold type sliding door rather than a single-leaf door so there’s no real slamming involved.
I don’t like the missing window on 7L and if at all possible I prefer to be forward of 2L so I don’t have a queue of boarding traffic standing next to me the whole time.
