I flew LAX to Sydney in the last row and the middle of the center section of seats...the seats didn't recline due to the wall behind them, we couldn't see the movie screen from our seats...not even partially...and the food was terrible...THAT was torture!!! We were in such foul moods when we got to Sydney...and stiff, sore and hungry to boot.
BUT, that certainly was the exception...EVERY seat on that plane was better than ours!
