my summary of the seats: above concerns were largely correct, but I’d still recommend them overall. Much, much better than the equivalent seats in the 3-4-3 B777, which suffer from the two solid armrests on both sides of each seat.
May I confirm that 59A / exit row seats recline like normal economy seats? Booking one for ORD-HKG.
Separate question - if I want to put my carry on luggage on the floor in front of me as a foot rest, do you think I'd be immediately told off by the flight attendants ?
