Back row of the bubble - anyone sat there?

[Perkins]

Hi,

I have just booked back row of the bubble for the return flight, but looked on seat guru and it states that the recline may be limited.

A bit worried as was looking to settle down during the night - so have I wasted my money?

Has anyone had any experience of sitting in these seats please?

Thanks in advance.

Yes it's called dibbers row round these parts as so many of us coveted it... back when it was free.
Recline is not limited, but the armrests don't go all the way back up though, so you can't cuddle so easily.

Back row of bubble PE or Econ? We've sat in back row PE and the seats / recline were great. The only thing I didn't like was people coming and going for the toilets through the divider curtain next to those seats.

I had row 80 a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Seat recline etc was fine. I thought they were great seats on the way out. However on the return I found that the screw members seemed to gather at the back and had constant chat & laughing so really difficult to sleep. This may have been just unlucky on my part

Thank you for the replies - v helpful.

They are great seats. Agree about the issue with armrests.

Remember, even if you request these seats they are not guaranteed. We’ve been moved out of all sorts of seats so many times.

I found the flight back in the bubble to be noisy, crew and passengers talking and laughing all night and we were in premium! Next time I will book the downstairs premium back row.

I’ve sat in them. Nothing to add but I prefer the back row PE downstairs personally.

Personally prefer the exit row upstairs - row 75. Leg room is far more important to me than being able to recline.

These were the first seats I've ever got a decent sleep on the way home, having never flown by that time in anything other than economy.
