Are the extra legroom and leg rest worth being close to the restrooms for?
Thank you!
Cheers to your 3rd post, and welcome to FT. The distance between you and the bathroom is quite great, considering there is the boarding door between you and the lav, so you should be fine from all reasons you are concerned about. Foot traffic should be minimal as the lav is only for J passengers, and this is usually enforced on widebody flights as the crews are usually top-notch, and especially bc you're flying Int'l. (I'm sure other FT'ers will chime in here with varying experiences) This is AA's flagship aircraft, and as such, usually fantastic crew and great pax traveling as well, so you should be fine. Just note that while you will have free booze, the service is just as slow as typical economy, so if you're a boozehound, be sure to order doubles each time you order.
(Fun Fact: This is my 777th post. Fitting considering it's about a 777)
