Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 3A | 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 | 3A | 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 | 25B | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Nervous flyers | 25B | Over the wing, close to the aircraft's structural centre of gravity — the smoothest ride on board when it's bumpy. |
| Trying to sleep | 3A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 8B | Premium | 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. |
| 8C | Premium | 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. |
| 8E | Premium | 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. |
| 8F | Premium | 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. |
| 10C | Economy | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 10D | Economy | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 10F | Economy | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 10G | Economy | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 41A | Economy (rear partial row) | 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. |
| 41B | Economy (rear partial row) | 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. |
| 41C | Economy (rear partial row) | 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. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (28 seats: 8A, 8B, 8C, and 25 more) — 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.
- Often cold or draughty (16 seats: 1A, 1G, 2A, and 13 more) — Seats next to a bulkhead or door on a long-haul widebody are usually the coldest in the cabin — bring a layer for this one.
- High foot traffic (33 seats: 1B, 1C, 1E, and 30 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 (28 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 25 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.
- Wing blocks the view (8 seats: 24A, 24J, 25A, and 5 more) — The wing sits directly outside this window, blocking most of the view — but you also get one of the smoothest, quietest rides on the aircraft.
