(it is my understanding, your Lie Flat's are staggered vs. our's which are side by side)
Is there a curtain?
We are having an issue at UAL with our 75-2's. Contract states that the seat next to us (we are 4A>) 4B, is the last to be occupied. Well, they are putting upgrades and others in the seat when we have seats open in the back.
We don't have any curtain or other device to allow for privacy.. and it's a ***** (sometimes) to climb over the person in 4B.
Like they said, it's seat 1A - our 757s do not have lie-flat seats. The BusinessElite equipped 757s (ETOPS) are more spacious than most domestic BusinessClass, but don't recline as far as our 767 BusinessElite seats. We get a little foot rest and a partial curtain, but it is carefully engineered to not block out the light from the galley. ;-) The curtain goes from the wall behind us, behind the seat, and ends about as far forward as your ear on the right side. I am 6' 00, and it is not a comfortable rest seat for me. Because you are right up against a bulkhead, there isn't a lot of footroom to work with.
The seat besides can be occupied, it is supposed to be the last seat in BusinessElite that is occupied, so they can put upgrades in that seat. You have to climb over the person sitting next to you to get in and out, not easy but doable.
The range on the 757 is max at 8+30 or so, so the time in the seat is about 2.5 max. Those airplanes have IFE, so you can watch TV/movies if you want as well. The 757 rest seat is the least popular of the rest seats, that's for sure.
