Besides that, how much tighter can you realistically get lie-flat than today's J seats while meeting safety requirements.

Whenever you think it can't get any tighter, someone will prove you wrong

Then again as long as its priced right don't see why I should not try it. if all I want is to lie down and this 2-4-2 is about 50% cheaper, seems like a good trade off.

Was browsing around youtube while bored,came across this ad series.
And tears came into my eyes- literally.
I feel like I want to reach out and give jetblue a hug.
Chances are the real jetblue is reducing legroom also... but still.. for a minute I felt at ease by listening to the pigeon. (Idealist)

Flew AC8 for the first time last Friday. Was eUpped to J at the gate. Had 1G but switched to 2D so a husband and wife could sit together. First time on the 777-HD (I've been lucky prior to this.)
I have no hesitation to say that this is the worst AC J seat in the fleet. The seat is too narrow. The tunnel for your feet/legs is too narrow, and not high enough. The lumbar support is too hard when the seat is fully flat. I could not find a comfortable position for sleeping. The seat controls are poorly positioned near where the table stows and I was constantly inadvertently activating the chair with my hand when in the seated position.
Positives: nice, large screen.

I may have missed this but haven't been following this thread. When is the HD J seat being ripped out for the new J seat? Anyone know?

Thanks eigenvictor and Diabeetus.
I'm not too familiar with how to track fins because it's been a while and obsolete knowledge gets autopurged from my mind.
There is a 777HD that flies between YYZ and YVR. How can I find the fin so that I can track when it's going to be swapped out? The routes listed in the posts you two gentlemen posted in doesn't have that route. I presume it goes YYZ - YVR - Intl destination, I just don't know what that destination is, so I can't look it up by route. Thanks guys for your help.

flightradar24.com and flightaware.com, enter the aircraft registration (C-Fxxx) and you'll see where the specific aircraft is and where it's expected to be going. You'll only be able to tell which aircraft is flying on a specific route a couple of days in advance - maybe 4 days at best.
