American Airlines 787 Seat Question

Thinking about booking the 2 rows of seats at the back of economy (29 & 30) that just have two seats rather than the usual 3. I know we'll be last off the plane, and that the very rear row has limited recline, but how limited is the recline? And is there anything else bad to consider?

There are four of us, 2 adults and 2 children, and it's going to be a night flight from Chicago to Heathrow.

If I remember correctly, they don't recline at all. They are right up against the wall.
I find it noisier in the back, too, but it helps me sleep, so I don't mind. Plus is drowns out any noise from the restrooms and staff.

Didn't think they would. Had similar seats on a Virgin 747 a few years ago, think everyone slept but me!

Being fussy we'd quite like window seats and not have to sit next to strangers so quite like being able to get 2 sets of two seats. And they are some of the cheapest to pre-book with AA.
