Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 1A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Travelling as a couple | 1A | This row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you. |
| Tall passengers | 1A | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 2A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Best seats
Economy Class
- 1A — You are in the first row behind a wall, so there is nobody to recline into your knees and noticeably more space to stretch out.
- 1D — You are in the first row behind a wall, so there is nobody to recline into your knees and noticeably more space to stretch out.
Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 18B | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 18A | Economy Class | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 17B | Economy Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 17C | Economy Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (2 seats: 18A, 18B) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
- High foot traffic (7 seats: 1B, 1C, 2B, and 4 more) — This aisle seat sits right next to a lavatory, galley or exit, so expect a steady stream of people brushing past, especially early and late in the flight.
- No underseat storage (4 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.
