Row 1, seat A (Business Class): front row of Business by the window, with nobody in front.

Row 30, seat C (Guest Class): exit seat right behind Business, as Saudia colours it.

Seats to avoid

Row 42, seats A, B, J and K (Guest Class): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited

Row 54, seats B, C, J, K and L (Guest Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
