What is an issue though - I don't find the seats that comfortable. I am 6' tall and the ridge in the seat back which I guess is meant to separate the back region from the neck cuts into my shoulder blades. Am I the only person to find this as I have not read it on other posts? Its a similar issue on one of the other XM'd planes (not the 763 which I gather has the same seats as the 777's) but I cannot recall which one.
IFE, n=4 with no problems. Time will tell for #5?

Mr. Melville shares the same sentiments as he is 6' plus and agrees with both of you about the ridge in the back being uncomfortable and the general length being a tight fit to lie flat or just stretch out when seated. Overall, though given the
"old days" he enjoys the
"suite life".
