The pitch to the bulkhead might be the same as the other seats but there is no cutout for feet and legroom is definitely less than the other rows.
I once grabbed a bulkhead at check-in as there was a spare seat beside me. Swapped back to one of the other rows on the plane due to legroom. First time ever I have given up a window seat with a spare seat beside me!

Thanks, very helpful. The flight is the day flight back from Hawaii so will stick with the last row, any galley noise shouldn't be an issue during the day.
Interesting about the bulkhead IFE, I got the impression the screen was far away from the photos and good to have that confirmed (especially since they charge you for the privilege of that row)

Air NZ 789 is a total of 21 PE seats in 3 rows. I've been on all three and prefer row 25. But goes to show that individual preferences matter rather than recommendations
If you are on bulkhead, then use the remote control to navigate (old school DVD style menus) unless you have long arms. Benefit of this is you are less likely to step over the person who is reclined.
