Ok so finally flew on this aircraft. Both ways got the last row (49)
My Views:
1) Seats are very uncomfortable and compounded with being in the last row that does not recline completely it was bad. I am glad I did not have a row on the side because of the door, but very congested and claustrophobic. I simply hate these new age seats they are crap.
2) IFE is good (i mean the hardware), however with the control buttons being on the armrest and seats being so tight, every time you rested your elbows you ended up hitting some button or the other. In my case kept turing the reading light on and off or calling the cabin attendant.
3) Turbulence as listed by another poster is felt a lot, and when i mean a lot at times it was like a bucking bronco swaying side to side with the plastics creaking a lot. Considering the captain did not turn on the seat belt signs I assumed actual turbulence was normal and was just being felt more. On my return flight yesterday it was rumbling / shaking all the way and had to keep one had on the food tray to keep it falling off. To note a lot of the disturbance was side to side and felt we were in the tail of whale being swished around left to right.
4) Restrooms are good and bigger with sensor based taps and flushes and slow falling seats. The rear restroom is especially spacious but the sink is too small and with the mirror so low little gap between them. A lot of water mess created all over because of that.
5) Engines and wheels in and out so quiet that it surprised me. No thumps or wind noises.
6) Air quality felt better and did not dry out that much on board.
Overall: If it did not carry the 747 tag I would have said 5/10 overall, but i am biased to this gentle giant so ..........
