Depends what you like. I was on the 767 last night/this morning from Bog-JFK. The pitch IS NOT GREAT, especially if you are at the window. I was given seat 4A (last row window) and there was someone sitting on the aisle, so I moved to the single seat in row 4. I watched time and again the lady in 3A climbing over her husband to get to the bathroom - would hate to do that to a stranger.

I really liked the middle seat except for one small thing - I usually keep a glass with soda during the flight and the middle seat doesn't have the center place to put a couple of glasses that the side-by-side seats do. So you have to use the tray table to hold your glass. Now I'm a big guy and most tray tables butt up against my stomach - but not so on the 767 - plenty of room.

So I would go with the middle.

Service was great as usual. One last thing. They havve portable DVD/Super 8 players (yes - Super 8) for FC passengers - but they never give them out. I ask for one and then people ask me how I got it and I tell them to just ask - they usually have about 10 movies to choose from, plus whatever's on the main screen - yes, an actual screen in FC on the 767, and a 1960's style monitor on the 757. Not to mention the forward lav door (2 lavs in FC on the 757) slams into the monitor when the monitor is in the down position - which it isn't until the movie is half over, but no one ever complains.

All to say - ask for the personal player.

Have a good trip!
