    Looking at booking flights in December and i’m just curious as to whether it is preferable to book the bulkhead seats with extra legroom and have to endure babies or opt for seats further back which i usually would. Thoughts?

    Bit on the vague side Danieljs – which carrier, what route, etc?

    Bulkhead always worth it, though I was disgusted by the extra $160
    ( yup, you read right) that qantas wants to charge for extra legroom. One.way.

    Buy yourself some quality noise canceling headphones, which will have the additional bonus of being superior to whatever headphones are provided in economy ( virgin America excepted).

    And if you can’t get either, that’s what sleeping pills are for ( though I assume you aren’t talking about a LHR- AMS hop 😉

    Enjoy the flight.

    Exit row is not bad either…I rather value that extra bit of legroom.

    For the very tall, bulkhead seats often offer less legroom as you can’t stretch out under the seat in front. You’d often be better off in a regular row, or ideally in an emergency exit row.

    Main benefit of a bulkhead is not being reclined into (handy if you need to use a laptop), ease of exiting from the window seat, the armrest TV, and sometimes the use of the bassinet for propping up G&Ts. Oh, and first on the drinks and nosh pass, too.
