Eco Seat on Flight EWR to HNL on 767 400ER tomorrow

Hi Guys,

need your advise. I am flying to HNL tomorrow and currently have the Bulkhead 16AB (travelling with my wife)


Seatexpert says they are great and have extra legroom (i am 6.5) and Seatguru says they are below average and Legroom is retriced.

What is your experience on this flight / plane...

Thanks, Hayo

I have never sat in that, but I did sit in 17D and looked at the people sitting in 16AB. The bulkhead doesn't have a cutout, so while you will have lots of room in front of you for your body and knees, you cannot extend your feet past the bulkhead. I saw the two guys sitting there putting their feet on the bulkhead a lot, and doesn't look too comfortable.

So, if you usually sit pretty upright, that's great. But if you're planning to recline the whole way and extend your feet far forward, they're not good seats.

I had them once and they are below average. Leg room is about the same but the tray table is in the armrest so you can't move it.

At this late date I doubt you can improve you position.

Any desire to try for the rev-up? It's a long flight....

I would say the legroom is not much better than other coach seats and you are right by the restroom, so people stand near your seat as well.
