Yes, but some travelers prefer the more spacious feeling of flying on a widebody.

Passanger next to me on EWR-IAH 777 flight commented: this is a proper plane, not like the little one from Manchester.
I personally found the 757 to/from DUB just fine, thank you.

Six feet 185 here, and I did not find the 767 BF lie-flat all that and a bag of chips. I was in a K seat. Found it narrow, hard and the footwell was cramped. I'll be in a D seat in May, traveling sans TSMRSRNE sadly. I'm not expecting D to be any better than K, but I'll let you know.
RNE, loved Istanbul and surrounding areas! Seven days allowed time to do everything! Marvelous and madcap place!

I am going to fly back from CDG to IAD next week, just cleared GPU, tried to score a seat on BF (767-300), all the middle aisle seats are taken, all the aisle seats are taken except 6K, all the window seats are available. Which seat should I pick? Thanks guys!

767-300
There's a thread on this: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...tional-42.html
For sleeping on overnight flights, backward facing preferred.
For daylight flights, choose forward facing.
Best seats 6C,H but can't pick them until 24 hrs. before dep.
Undesirable seats 10J,K
Other than 6C,H choose mid BF cabin seats.
Alternating forward & backward rows limit somewhat privacy.
Upon just checking my flight, BF lie-flat seating is now shown on the 767-300 as all forward facing, with a single seat between the aisles. I selected 1D which hopefully is a good choice!

On a old 763 IAD-GRU next week in J. Do all the seats in row one have a bigger foot rest? Are they the only wide foot wells in the cabin? Any disadvantage to row 1 other than proximity to the galley?

Proximity to the lavs. And the ledge in front of seats is sometimes used as beverage/snack tray.

Thanks Kacee, I didn't know there was a shot at the new config. Are the footwells in row of that configuration more spacious too?
