- Row 10, seat A (Business): front row of Business at the window, away from the mid-cabin toilet.
- Row 11, seat K (Business): business window seat in the middle of the main cabin.
- Row 15, seat A (Business): business in a small one-row cabin of its own behind the doors, likely quieter.

Seats to avoid
- Row 14, seats D and G (Business): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
- Row 33, seats A, B, C, E, F, H, J and K (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
