Oh the joy... half empty WTP cabin 😄
BA286 SFO - LHR has plenty free seats. After an upgrade is this not the next best thing? It is for me who frequents the middle and rear of the plane.

I prefer a nearly empty WT cabin, when you can lie across 3 seats. Obviously, doesn't happen too often, but did happen to me last year on a long haul to DEL. Actually got some proper sleep.

But the newer economy seats are bad: the arm rests don't full fold up, and the seats are slightly bucket-shaped, making them very uncomfortable - also three-across are way to short for me!

or the even more rare 4 empty seats together in the middle of a 747 - truly the pinnacle of aviation comfort!

I've slept better in a half empty WTP cabin than in CW, partly because the CW seat isn't long enough for me when turned into a bed (I'm 195cm tall) and if CW is busy then the seat shakes if the person on the other side of the partition moves around. This doesn't happen with something like CX where you're not aware of the passengers next to you no matter how much they fidget or slam their tv monitor/tray table in and out.

Flew from CGK-to DPS on a JAL 747 a few years ago with only 30 people onboard
On the same trip flew BA from LHR to CGK via KUL on a 747 where both my wife and I moved to the middle rows in Y and each had four seats to sleep across. Those were the days! Does not happen any more
