Strategic Seating

Best Rows
  • Odd-numbered window seats (more private, set farther from aisle)
  • Rows 17/18 window seats can be among the most private due to lavatory wall shielding (tradeoff: nearer lavs; verify window alignment)
Rows to Avoid

  • Row 11L (reported to have fewer windows than many other odd rows)
  • Row 7 (reported to have fewer windows than many other odd rows)
