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.
Thanks so much for the info. I had been given some contradicting into but figured I'd get the real scoop here.
Our 75-2's are all LieFlat equipped but we've been having a contractual battle over seat 4B. Contract states it will be the last seat occupied in the whole aircraft, not the last in BF.
(Probably a screw up from the company!)
Just wondering what everybody else was doing. And I wasn't aware that you didn't have LieFlats in your whole fleet yet. It does make for a nice rest~
Your fleet shows the LieFlats as being staggered. That should help with the climb over!
Always

Oh, and we range from 1:30 to about 2:30 rest.. depending on flights~
