  • Row 15, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, drawn with extra legroom and no seats in the middle of the row.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 30, seats A, B, C, E, G, H, J and K (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
  • Row 30, seat D (Economy): in front of the mid-cabin toilets, so recline is likely limited.
