LRTC begins on the 777s in October.
Your welcome confused me, since I've been lurking here for a few years now -- but surprisingly, this was my first post.
Anyway, that explains the missing Row 20... And I've put us in the back section per your advice, and will try to do some pitch measuring during the long, long flight to confirm/guide our seat selection for the return flight.
Thanks!
