Well today had my 2nd trip on the newish 705. I had changed my seat from 2D on the flight from EWR this morning and took the recommended 3A. I must admit that on this metal I did "prefer" 3A. As mentioned by DF, plenty of room under the seat in front for my computer bag; and good leg room still there too.
Also liked the fact that there are 2 reading lights and two air vents overhead of these seats. And you cannot get any better than no one sitting beside you
I think the pilots are still getting used to these beasts (?) as a couple of times we seemed to slow down or speed up and you could feel the air compression (?)
So the moral is always listen to you Doc ^
And Doc, on this trip tri-fold Briggs & Riley Garment bad had no issues in the overhad compartment on the other side of the aisle! ^
