BE seating
 

I'm on a 767-300ER beginning of January. Already kissed my idea of the refurb cabin goodbye, since I will fly MEM-AMS.

I've got 1J/1K, thought that I like that nobody can recline in to my space since no seat in front of you. Now I saw SeatGuru had new information per seat, stating that 1J/1K have restricted legroom and that all other seats on the J/K position have a little more space, compared to A/B E/F?

Anybody can relate to this or just stick to what I have?

The bulkheads on these birds have plenty of legroom. And I've always heard the line that J/K seats have increased pitch, but over dozens and dozens of these flights I've never actually been able to tell the difference. (It might be an inch, but it's such a small difference it's meaningless.)

I sat in 1A last week and remember that my toes hit the bulkhead wall when the foot rest was all the way up. I'm about 6' tall. I've sat in other non-bulkhead seats on the 767s and didn't have such a problem. So, I agree with Seatguru about the bulkheads on this one. If you're 5' 10" or shorter, it's likely not an issue.

I personally prefer row 2, beacuse of storage under the seat in front of you.. :) ;)

Why don't you make the short hop to ATL and take the A330 to AMS from there?

Never heard of seats 1J and 1K on a 767-300....So you must be just outside of the plane? :) The only plane with seats 1J and K in DLs fleet would be a 747....

767-300s have AB...CE...FG in business class. 1F and G are probably the best seats on the plane as the right side has a little more space than the left and center between seats. Also, the bulkheads are best on this plane IMO because nobody reclines into your space. In any other row, people recline into you and for the person at the window, it is hard to get out. Otherwise, I like the center seats (C, E) in the first few rows just because both have direct aisle access.

Dont be so fast to kiss the idea away. N1608 does frequent turns at AMS to the different USA airports and occasionally will also do turns to BOM.

I hate those planes! All boarding is through the front and the cabin is old and not very private from noise and other annoying things your fellow passengers will do throughout the flight. I last flew it in May JFK-IST (10 hours) and maybe was able to sleep for 1 hour the entire flight in BE.

Ships 1611 and 1612 also are in service with the new configuration. Four more will be in service by sometime in November so it certainly is possible but the percentages would be against the OP. Plus, 1608 has been doing a lot of CDG runs from what I have seen.....not much AMS unfortunately :(

I'm taking these new babaies for a ride in March 2012.. Ewr to Ams to Bom :)

My wife and I like 2F/G on the 763ER. No such thing as J & K seats on the 763ER, at least that I've ever seen. F & G in Rows 2-5 have a bit more pitch than on the A/B side or the middle seats C & E. Some like bulkhead--and I can see their point about no one reclining into your space-- but we don't find it that bad and like not having to put everything up on take-off and landing.

I'd check on that J and K in terms of the plane you are on.

Award availability :( My friends are flying in Y and feel bad about putting them in a plane, which has no AVOD in the year 2012!!!! but only award ticket possible out off LAS.

You're right! J/K is my flight on the way to SFO on a 343 ;) It's FG correct. Heard of no changes of refurb cabin and flew this once from JFK to AMS. Really noise and didn't like it at all!!! So again, only reason was the award ticket options are very bad for FB people on DL metal. And LAS is really a DL hub, no AF/KL.
