Seat Selection
Have been allocated seat 34C (first row of economy) automatically by the QF system on my upcoming trip to LHR on QF1. What do people think of this seat based on previous experiences?

Interested to know the responses as I am in 34A on QF2 to Sydney in November - I like that there is no-one reclining in my face my I guess the flip side is not being able to stretch out under the seat in front.

If sitting in the exit rows, it may be a good idea to wear light coloured sox so that the people or crew milling around the door can see your feet in the dim light. Better that than wearing black sox and getting your feet trodden on when trying to sleep!

Bulkhead seats are good for face room and knee room. But for a long flight, it's foot room and overall recline that count.
