More than enough. There will be empty space in the bins.

I'd say tons, but the truth is bins are much larger than that.

Usually enough for 1 full oversize bin for each passenger.

Family of four -- two adults and two children (teen and preteen) -- trying to figure out the best seats in J. Given the configuration and dividers I think we all want to be on the same aisle but the stagger is very confusing. We currently have 4G, 4K, 5G, 5K. Any thoughts would be welcome. Also available are rows 9-11 in the rear section on the A side (so, 9-11 A and D if we wanted four of those instead, such as 10A, 10D, 11A, 11D, etc.). Thanks in advance -- having never flown it, it is a bit difficult to envision, even with pictures.

You are right that it's better to be on the same aisle because of the divider. The staggering means that A-D and G-K are not aligned, so that 1D is like between 1A and 2A. How old is your pre-teen? AC's rule is that infant (can't remember the exact age limit) must sit in the seat in front of the adult in J.

Ok, thanks, interesting point -- she's 12. But I think we'll be ok if we do two and two on either side of the aisle.

Anyone have any thoughts as between 4 and 5 versus 10 and 11? Don't really care about choice of menu, just best seating and sleeping options.
