- Rows 2–7, seats A and K (World Business Class): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 11, seat A (Premium Comfort): first row of Premium Comfort, with nothing ahead but the cabin divider.

Seats to avoid
- Row 8, seats D and G (World Business Class): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 26, seat A (Economy Class): backs onto the mid-cabin lavatories: limited recline and a queue beside you.

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