Best Economy Seat in 777-300ER
I will be flying CDG-LAX on a new 777-300ER (one with premium economy).
Do you guys have any recommendation in Y?
I am contemplating between 23B (bulkhead) and 24C (no seat in front). I am pretty tall so unless there is a huge space between 23 and the bulkhead, I am thinking about going for 24C.
Thank you!

At Seatguru.com 24C is not referred to as a "good seat" with extra legroom, but as a standard seat. Maybe someone knows why? It sure looks like a lot of legroom in front of it...
Perhaps 35C could be an alternative?

Does anyone know what's row 31 like?
Re: row 35, is there enough legroom that person sitting in 35A or 35L can get out without disturbing middle and aisle seat passengers?
I prefer aisle, but only window seats in row 35 are available to me at the moment [note: via KL site, not AF, as in the screen shot].

Should not be a problem. It is not a siege + as there is the slide taking some room, but to stand up it is nice.

Re: my post above
As this flight is few months out, do you think that some of the more forward Y seats [Rows 23-30] might become available at T-90 days?

AF 773! There is no good Y seat on this A/C. It is notoriously uncomfortable in the back.

To show how little legroom there is, this is me sitting upright - wouldn't fit in - my knee was futher than the back of the seat in front
