- Row 2, seats A and K (First): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 5, seat A (Business): business window seat in the small front section of four rows.

Seats to avoid
- Row 6, seats C, D, G and H (Business): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 17, seat D (Economy): in front of the toilets in the middle, so recline is likely limited.

- Row 30, seats A, B, C, H, J and K (Economy): backs onto a toilet, galley or wall as Etihad draws it, so recline is likely limited
