I'd still happily fly 747- the seat is not latest generation, but I never had problems sleeping 6 hours on the flight. I can't sleep at all in BA Club world- it's flat, but that's all.
Certainly OZ 747 does go 135 degrees, and if you can work out the foot rest, it's very acceptable. The upstairs "club" atmosphere is great- beats the 777 where you can hear screaming brats in coach.
Perhaps I could not work the foot rest properly?
I found it to be too short, i.e. it doesn't extend far enough. Perhaps it was not designed by/for tall caucasians ?
