The numbers do seem to be creeping up over time don't they? I had an $899 AMS-JFK a couple of weeks back. I ignored it, then got the op-up at the gate anyway.

Don't know how you get there. The seat is identical to the 777, but the IFE is way worse - it's awful! The lower deck is very spacious and has those 3 standalone seats, but the upperdeck is cramped...
