Pretty private mini cabin
There is enough overhead storage for small personal bags (since no underseat storage there)?
Can you stream movies or tv to your personal IPAD vs their flip up IFE?
Some confusion among reviews but assume in the end that seats a/b or H/j do indeed recline?
Any help appreciated. Per suggestion above, I looked at the price trends over the year and don’t see much opportunity for lower fare. With only four of these seats available I’m going to book now.
Recently flew HA A330 from HNL to SAN in row 11EG middle bulkhead - it was a delightful flight in the mini-cabin with plenty of legroom and a quick exit upon arrival. The AB/HJ seats do recline so that would also be a good option. The flight attendants held the rows from 14 back until rows 11/12 and first class exited.
You are correct, no underseat storage but there was more than adequate storage for our two roller cases and our personal belongings. We try to avoid checked bags these days.
I believe you can stream movies and shows from your personal device but we load shows and movies to watch so did not use any entertainment options available.
