Best seats

- 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 17, seat A (Economy): exit row beside the overwing exits, drawn with extra space in front.
Seats to avoid

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