1. Wondering if anybody has an opinion on whether 32 is better than 28 in leg space / other reasons?

2. Also worried 28 might end up being a "kid friendly" bulkhead seats. Is that usually 28 or 31? Anybody know?

Thanks!!

Hi there -- for overnight flights, the 28A bulkhead is my preferred, since you can lean on the wall and the space is ample (and I'm 6'4''). Eventhough they say it's the basinet row, they don't really have the hookups there so there's never a baby in there (27D-G may be different). If you get swapped to the 744 with economy starting at 23 then it's not as spaceous but it's still pretty decent. 33A/K may also be a good option.
