i wasnt thrilled with the co product.
it might have something to do with the fact that the hole to put ur feet into was undersized by my seat making for an uncomfortable experience.
besides, the service on elal was far superior, making for a more enjoyable flight overall.
this was on the flight lax-tlv, not sure if nyc-tlv has a different seat

I like the Elal service in Biz better than CO biz, the staff are usually nicer & I find that the CO staff don't like working the TLV route & they let you feel it. I flew the CO a few days ago, the seats were pretty good, but a bit overrated IMO.

Is it possible to sleep backwards with your head at the other end?
I did that on DL's lie-flats and preferred it.

@ Dan,
I didn't think of that. I'll try it if I have similar seats tomorrow.

Worth noting this quote from FT:

"I like 8K because the foot well seems to be larger and can accommodate my size 14 feet."

Anyone know which other seats have bigger foot wells?

The 2 center seats in both rows 1 & 2 definitely have the larger ottoman.
