Row 30 on A350
Is it worth booking the row 30 bulkhead seats in Premium Economy? I have seen mixed reports on whether they give you more or less leg room than other seats in this cabin. I am 6'1 so leg room can be an issue for me! Thanks

Hell Yes.... I will seriously consider changing flight if bulkhead seats were occupied. Only setback, most of the time, a bassinet seat is also in the bulkhead, pray hard that no baby is sitting next to you. Beyond that, you are flying equivalent on a 'business' class, have something in front(carry on?) of the seat after take off, and let you foots rest on it like a flat bed. A long haul flight will pass easily.
One last thing. no stuff(carry on, bag, etc.) allowed in front of the bulk head seat during take off and landing. If that's a concern, it's always fine with me.

My favorite seats on CX A350 are 30A and 30K (the window seats). I both have a window and almost an aisle access - I can easily get to the aisle without the person in the aisle seat getting up.
I'm 6' and had plenty of leg room.
The only downside is that's also a bassinet seat, once there was actually someone using it but I managed to change seats.

This happened to me once...... I was on 30A, a mother carrying a baby who's on 30C came and gave me an innocent face if her husband can swap seat with me. What can I say?????? Her husband was on 31C(non-bulkhead) although an aisle seat. For the next 15 hours, my right knee hurts(Straighten and elevate my leg will help but ) and I have to endure till I arrive HKG and exercising my walking

I just picked 30K on a SIN-HKG flight, not sure if this is a good choice?

On the A359, I would agree that 30A and 30K are great seats, and really helps with access to the lavatory on LH flights.
I haven't flown the A351 yet, however a quick look at the seat map shows that 30K is directly behind a galley and two lavatories. I personally wouldn't mind being seated there on a relatively short SIN-HKG flight, provided that it isn't a red-eye. If the seat map is accurate de facto, then 30K is a much better seat than 30A, which has the lavatory right in front.
