I flew BA274 on 8th July. BA Silver. 1K was available to book at the time of upgrading circa May. Where this was a night flight, I knew I was in line to take on all that has been written about the seat.

Contrary to other notes in this thread, I found the seat to be just fine. Orders taken first. Served first. Foot well was fine for me at 5'11". Slept a good few hours with no disturbance (I'm neither a light or heavy sleeper on planes). Attentive crew. Where the galley is upfront easy access to everything. Toilets were not an issue. No complaints by me at all.

I reckon it's simply down to the crew you have as to whether the comfort levels will fluctuate. Most of the crew attending to me seemed fairly young (circa mid 20's), so one may be inclined to assume they would be aloof to trying to keep things quiet but all went well. I would happily chance sitting there again.
