Hell you can even sit on floor if you want. the only problem with that area though is you can't watch tv and you may be near little kids ... but all in all flights are only 9hrs max and if you can put up with a little noise it's great.. if your tired enough you will sleep. I also try to change my seat right when I book the ticket or at the gate, I find this much easier. only once in all my travels did I get a cramped inside seat beside an Irish Senior Lady who had an immense fondeness for red wine .. --- LIFE IS AN ATTITUDE!

Lufthansa, ... and British Airways,... are promoting features like seats that recline entirely flat, preflight meals that allow passengers to go directly to sleep and high-speed Internet access in seats.
