Row 1, seat A (First): first at the very front: four seats a row, two rows.

Seats to avoid

Row 6, seats C, D, G and H (Business): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
Row 17, seat D (Economy): in front of the toilets in the middle, so recline is likely limited.

Row 30, seats A, B, C, H, J and K (Economy): backs onto a toilet, galley or wall as Etihad draws it, so recline is likely limited
