Best seat on E75 in Exec First
Just a quick question on the above: It will be my first flight on an AC E75. Right now I'm in seat 1A but I'm wondering if the bulkhead will reduce leg space. I'm 6'2'' and I'd like to stretch out a bit. Should I switch to 2A instead?
Thanks for your comments.

I like 2A myself. Lots of room, but you can still throw a bag under the seat in front of you. I like having access to my bag without getting up.
I sat in 3A on an E75 last weekend and it was fine. Limited recline, but I rarely recline anyway. Lots of leg room (I'm 6'), especially if you don't put a bag under there.
The D/F seats are far enough apart, too, that they're quite nice, but I like the A seats if I fly on my own, if I can get one (and I am lucky enough to be at the front of the bus).
Same story in the E90 by the way.

agree, like 2 A or 3A (limited recline doesn't seem a big issue). I would suggest that you take advantage of pre-boarding as the bins on the right side of the aircraft are the only ones that can take luggage of any size and fill up quick if J is full

Row 1 you get a little bit more legroom and nobody reclines in front of you. But that only really matters if you're in Y. Rows 2 and 3 have enough room and recline isn't that obstructive. As others have said, the TVs are too far away to view enjoyably and if you have a laptop bag or purse you need to stow it in the bins during takeoff and landing.

The problem with row 2 in any cabin is some blowhard in row 1 will dump their crap under their seat. This is why I recommend 3 most of the time, but only if row 3 isn't the last row in J and not separated by a bulkhead wall... otherwise if separated by a bulkhead wall the last row in J is marginally acceptable.
