Thank you for this! I’m going to give them a chance to go to Milan 💙

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

Enjoy and please report back with your experience.

[@robinmezger2579]

Did you have ample room to store your personal item? The dimensions onsite are just 16x12x4!

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

Not under the seat but in the overhead yes.

Thanks for the video. I am always curious to see what they give you for breakfast. How tall are you. Did you find you had enough leg room ?

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

I am 5’11 and I found the leg room to be a bit tight. I was glad to be in aisle as it allowed me to have at least one of my legs in the aisle after meal service.

I am flying from DC to Palermo. We will see how ot goes

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

Safe travels. Please report back on your experience.

How are the tray tables? As a bigger person myself I'm worried it won't come all the way down when I'm on a 6 hour flight

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

It could be a concern I think. If you have bigger legs then I believe it would be an issue making for it being uncomfortable for meal service.

[@mayramartinez4801]

How wide are the seats? I saw on trip advisor that the seats are very tight. Thanks

How much does it cost?

[@ansonlam0207]

Is it worth to upgrade to extra legroom?

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

For this length of flight I would say yes.

[@runawaytechgal1467]

I'm looking at the 777. Rows 27-34 are more legroom. Are those the shell seats? Did your row at 36 have decent legroom?

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

@@runawaytechgal1467 the legroom for me was decent but I think it would be worth it to pay for the extra legroom on a longer flight. Obviously if the additional cost makes sense for you.

[@runawaytechgal1467]

@@BrandonJohnson10K thank you. We are doing Miami to Zurich. So I'm opting for it

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

@@runawaytechgal1467 yes so the 777 will have Premium Economy as well. May be worth seeing the cost to upgrade to it vs the extra legroom.
