Which seats should I avoid?

Seat 3B in Business Class is worth avoiding: 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. The full seat map marks every seat we'd steer you away from, with the specific reason for each.

Quick pick, by traveller

If you're…	Pick	Why
Travelling solo	2A	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	2A	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	16B	Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does.
Nervous flyers	16B	Over the wing, close to the aircraft's structural centre of gravity — the smoothest ride on board when it's bumpy.
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.

Known quirks on this aircraft

Seat doesn't recline (22 seats: 3A, 3B, 3C, and 19 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.
High foot traffic (18 seats: 1B, 1C, 2B, and 15 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 (22 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 19 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 (10 seats: 15A, 15F, 16A, and 7 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.
