I have no idea what the mystery metal boxen under the seats are, but they demolish both leg room and luggage capacity on this 777.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: I was more comfy on the little puddle jumpers between Manchester and Glasgow than I was on this 777 back in steerage class. At least I had an aisle — way in the back, though, where the plane and the aisle begins to taper off. Thus, what was immediately in front of my feet was the brief case of the person to my left, the legs of the seats in front of me, and the mystery box.<\/p>\n

I suspect, in retrospect, that it might be something to do with the video system, but, damn, it’s really awful.<\/p>\n
