huh? Why would Y pax be happier?

What would you all consider the best seat/seats on this configuration?

Do the Bulkhead seats have a bigger footwell than other seats?

Thanks for the input.

When travelling alone, I prefer the single seats close to the windows. The even numbered rows. I feel that the seats in the odd numbered rows are too close to the movement in the aisle. If travelling as a couple, one will have to have a seat close to the aisle if going for a middle selection.

I never selected a bulkhead seat for the reasons above, but the footwell does not look significantly bigger.

But it doesn't look like the bulkhead seat footwell is as tapered as the regular seat's.

The intruding wall kind of bothers in the regular seat.

It does not bother me. But it is not like the footwell is the same size as on Swiss, where the footwell is massive at the bulkheads.

Sorry if this has been previously asked but has JAL released any schedules on when its remaining Skyluxe 767 planes?

I have JL735 for next March in mind

I'm looking for a comparable notice like Qantas that they'll replace their Skybed Mk 1 on their A330s with Business Suites at the rate of 1 a month...
