But extra room on the window?? I don’t think so. The wall curves,
I didn't mean there was extra room. The curved wall gives something comfortable for the dog to back up against and the window position means no danger of stepped-on paws. For myself, I don't need much leg room: the advantages of being short!
I also don't usually get up more than once or twice on a long haul. I just wait until the other people in the row go. With Carbon, I'll try to get up even less as I don't know how we're going to handle the loo run. I like the window seat because I can turn towards the window and try to ignore the 300+ other people on the plane.
I wonder if the bulkhead seat will have enough room for him to lie horizontally in front of you rather than vertically as you would expect with a window seat? Though guess he may then be encroaching on the other two people's leg room.
Exactly: he can't lay horizontally as it would put him in the footpace of other people. Brogan didn't have room to lay vertically, Carbon may. In that case, I'd have to keep my legs on either side of him to keep him in place which is tough proposition for 11 hours. Decisions, decisions!
Re: horizontally in the bulkhead, I've already told this story, but... Berlin to Malaga and we were in bulkhead with the entire row full. Entire plane full so no chance of changing the seat. Tiny Air Berlin plane. Brogan had no choice but to lay horizontally, which meant his head/upper body in my foot space and the back end in the foot space of the passenger in the middle seat. Very cheery short and stout Bavarian lady who promptly removed her shoes and used Brogan as a furry foot rest. I was both appalled and relieved that she didn't kick up a fuss!
(Brogan was A-OK with it, by the way).
