Who else prefers the rear-facing C seats?
 
Having flown both ways multiple times, I've come to decide that I prefer the rear-facing seats. Take off is a bit strange, but the rest of the flight feels much smoother, especially landing. Also easier for an FA coming up the airplane from a galley to see if you need anything.

Who else prefers this?

The sleeping position is better - with my head slightly higher than my feet.

I agree. I find it better for sleeping too.

same here. although i dont like the glares sometimes coming from the Y cabin when sitting backwards. hard to avoid eye contact.

I've not down a forward facing seat, but as much as I've enjoyed the rear facing not sure if I want to try facing forward.

I agree with all of the above. Love 'em!!

I'll be sitting/sleeping in a rear facing seat later today...by choice.

Cheers.

The rear-facing seats, especially in the upper deck are absolutely awful. Definetely pick other seats.

The rear-facing seats, especially in the upper deck, are the best seats on the plane.

Love rear facing seats. Since most people seem to reflexively dislike them, you have a greater chance of ending up with an empty seat next to you.

I have tried both several times and I like them equally. Rear seats are easier to find. Seems the front facing are chosen first.

I'm guessing this post was slightly tongue in cheek;)

Do I detect a misdirection for personal gain here?;)

Why take a chance on not knowing whether you're coming or going? Just leave those rear-facing UD seats open for those of us who don't care. ;)

Yes, we actually prefer them.
