My seat was the last one by the window 58A. I found it confortable. there is a gap between it and the cabin wall, which means you can not lean against the window, but you can store a small bag, cushion blanket bottle of water books in this space, which is quite convenenient.
Bad point across the aisle there is a bathroom (by58K). Notice that on the other side 58C the is no bathroom but the access dor to the upper cabin crew rest (so less disturbing) I would recommend any seat arranged by 2, from row 55 to 58.
OK it is a the very back of the plane, but anyway if you book a Luggage, you will have to wait for it at Luggage claim, so no hurry to disembark !
the pich is 31-32 I am 5,9foot or 1.76m, and I felt confy. this last row can fully RECLINE and no one is behing you, so after take of just relax and strech.I could cross my legs once the seat fully reclined.
Good point in a way. you are close to the galley. on those flight the crew is only 1 flight attendant for 55 passengers. so expecially during their rest it is difficult to get an extra drink at your seat (1 F/A on duty for 110 pax) at least if you call the F/A has only 2 meters walk to serve you if the person next to you is sleeping.
You got also during the flight between the 2 meals, a soft drink cart, and some snacks for flight over 11 hours on self service.
I noticed also that it is enough far enough from the galley not to be disturd by it's activities. Also the is a wall just behing the row 58 and it does protect from the noise.
on this kind of "vacation flights" Cancun, Montreal, Bangkok, Caribean, Indian Ocean. on the 77W high density, there is no 1rst drink service before the hot meal. But on your tray you will find a little bottle of punch (cocktail) and some salty snacks to go with.
As well as a bottle of red wine and one of water. you can deny it or change for over drinks of course. no digestif (cognac for ex) after the meal tho. but i do not care.
The quality of the main dish was exellent (1 choice only because "vacation" flight but you can order online a meal regarding your health or religion) you can also order (till 24H before flight)for FREE a fish meal. or veg, or better Indian meal or Indian vegetarian (I did it once and was exellent for the French man I am)
Also very good quantities (1 appetizer of quinoa, taboule and smoked salmon) hot meal was creamy chicken with rice, brocoli, and green beans. 1 slice of camembert president. 1 fresh apple crumble. 1 nice yougourt. (so 3 drinks on the tray, as well as 6 different tasty food elements)
Overall an exellent flight with very buys but friendly nice crew, loved my seat too.
I didn't expect such a GOOD and confy flight at all !
Will post about other seat in this plane.
Have nice flights hope my review helped.
