Footrests allow you to make yourself comfortable…. you will find a central armrest in the middle and a huge fold-out table and a cocktail table …. the 12” screens do invite you to enjoy the entertainment program …. And the backrest …. it can be put back a lot more than in economy and yes – falling asleep works easily!
