Best seats

  • Row 1, seat A (Cloud Nine): front row of Cloud Nine, by the bassinet position and the front galley.
  • Row 3, seat C (Cloud Nine): cloud Nine aisle seat in the middle of the small cabin, away from the front toilet and galley.
  • Row 11, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, behind a wall, so nobody reclines into you.
  • Row 17, seat A (Economy): exit row beside the overwing exits, drawn with extra space in front.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 16, seat A (Economy): in front of the exit row, so recline is likely limited.

  • Row 33, seats A and L (Economy): last row, against the rear toilets.
