- Row 20, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, marked with extra legroom.
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
- Row 33, seat D (Economy): backs onto the mid-cabin toilets, so recline is likely limited and there's a toilet queue right behind you.
