If you're 6'6", a bulkhead seat can be the only thing that makes 15 hours in Economy survivable, and just about every airline charges the same for a ULH bulkhead.
Now, $120 for a 767 bulkhead YVR-YYZ seems a bit much, I'll grant you.

Confused.
The topic of this thread is about an XM 777 config. But there are no more such 777 configs on AC.

Hmmm, since we don't have the "old stuff" anymore, maybe it's time to close these threads.
Of course, you and I have previously requested centralized threads for some topics, you know, to make search easier and more efficient.
Oh well.

How much do you value your ability to walk for the first 24 hours in Canada..... I'd rather stay home unless I knew I was getting more pitch. 31" for that long a flight is inhumane imho.

It's not just the pitch. With 10-across seating on the 777s, normal-sized people will spill over into their neighbour's space. Larger people will spend the flight scrunching their shoulders inwards. I did a quick walk through the Y cabin when I flew that route last year, and people looked absolutely miserable after 12 hours ... with 2.5 hours still to go. Once you arrive in Canada, you can look forward to a return flight that takes 1 hour longer.

Now that’s not to say it’s pleasant if you are short, it’s still AC Y for 14h or I guess 15h with boarding, but it’s far less painful for people who are shorter. So I’ve been told.
Also depends if you get to sit next to a reasonable human too. Bulkheads can be great if there’s space for your seat mates to get out without disturbing (or waking) you.
