- You probably want to sit "up top". Your mileage may vary; on UA the
- upper deck is all non smoking, I can't testify as to NW. I don't like
- the bulkhead seats up there, not enough leg room. The window seats
- don't have the usual advantage of being able to slouch over and lean
- against the wall while sleeping; the wall slopes too steeply up there.
- The overhead baggage is replaced by side compartments which line the
- wall; if you're sitting in a window seat you can use these as a leg
- rest. Because there's less seats up there it also tends to be quieter
- which helps sleeping as well.
