As a tall guy and a little claustrophobic, I'll put up with people walking in front me to gain the extra room. I never use the IFE anyway, preferring my own shows on my iPad. I guess I will find out in January. I'm booked in row 30 Seat G. I like to get up and stretch a lot. This seat is right next to the emergency exit, an area to get up and stretch without bothering other passengers.

From what I hear, there is a constant stream of Y passengers coming up to use the Y+ toilet anyway, so it sounds like you want to sit on the left side to avoid all the toilet traffic.

30A is one of the best PEY seats as you get the wall the rest your head on and also the legroom and leg rest. Pity the foot rest is not extendable but it can be resolved by using your carryon. Actually the recline is pretty decent and almost like the OOBC

I would say the other PEY seats give you a 150 degrees recline, and the front row gives you 135 degrees recline
I have my first PEY flight coming up in February. I just switched to row 31 to test it out. |

Does this mean that the best row of seats in PEY is actually row 31? You can recline 150 degrees while the person in front of you can only recline 135 degrees. That might be enough that the person next to you can slip out of the row without waking you up (if you are on the aisle).

Someone else posted that the bulkhead seat footrests do extend, but that it's not immediately obvious how to do it. Might be worth asking the FA. I will check out this Seat Recline controversy on my January flight. As I stated before, if the seat pitch between rows is an advertised 38" between all rows, there is no engineering reason to restrict the seat recline of the first row seats.

Already done that. None of the 6 flights of FAs that I've sit at PEY know the front row foot rest extends, or how to do it. Trust me, I've asked everytime hoping someone has the answer...

Did you mean the black part in the first picture which is missing in the second one?

I'm sorry there is a way to extend the foot rest.
There is a black button on the leg rest where you can release it. This is the same as the OOBC? U can see it in the 2nd photo and I just checked the official guide |
From that picture, It definitely would appear there is an additional 6 inches or so of extension on the footrest. Without that extension, that footrest would only work on someone with about a 26" inseam LOL

i'm 5'2 and even for me it's uncomfortable without the extension. really need to find the black button on my next flight...

The "life saver of the year" award goes to SXC for knowing what apparently the FA's don't even know.. :)
