Last row (27) of Premium Economy 787
Hey folks.
My sister has an upcoming PE flight to Vancouver and they've chosen row 27 window pair but its come to their attention that this may have restricted recline.
Does anyone have any experience if it's restricted much compared to the other rows?
At this stage the only other seats available for her and another family member are in the middle 3 seats.

It does have reduced recline.
fine for a day flight, not so great for trans pacific flights overnight.
i wish Air NZ would proactively advise customers that of that. Cabin crew have told me it’s a common source of complaints. Basically economy recline. The pain is watching those in front making the most of their 8in of recline when you have 3in!!
it’s a third of the cabin on V1 787s it should be sold with a caveat or discount given many people flying across the pacific are paying for more comfort and sleep.

Ditto to akl_cat I flew same flight a couple of weeks ago.
I found it very limited compared to the next row forward we had on the flight over.
i thought about 1/2 the recline. My grumpiness about the limited recline maybe made it worse than it was. But it certainly felt a lot less.
i cannot speak to the middle seats.
