1. Rear Section Seats (Rows 41–57)

  • Pros: Window seats offer unobstructed views as they are behind the wings.
  • Cons: More turbulence felt at the back, last to disembark, more foot traffic near lavatories and galley.

2. Centre Section Seats (Rows 22–36)

  • Pros: Located near the aircraft’s centre of gravity, offering the least turbulence — ideal for those prone to motion sickness.
  • Cons: Close to engines, higher noise levels, and wing blocks the view.

3. Exit Row Seats (41A/B/C, 41H/J/K)

  • Pros: Extra legroom.
  • Cons: Must assist crew in emergencies, cannot store bags under the seat, and often face crew jump seats.

4. Forward Section Seats (Rows 20–21)

  • Pros: Least noise and turbulence, served first for meals, fastest to disembark.
  • Cons: Row 20 may have bassinet positions nearby — possible disturbance from infants.

5. Seat Type Preferences

  • Aisle Seats (C, D, G, H): Convenient for moving around without disturbing others.
  • Window Seats (A, K): Best for views and privacy.

6. Last Row Seats (58H, 58J, 59D, 59E, 59G)

  • Cons: Limited recline, close to lavatories and galley, less privacy.

Seat Selection Tips

  • Motion-sensitive → Choose centre section (Rows 22–36)
  • Need legroom → Choose exit rows
  • Scenic views → Window seats away from the wing
  • Quiet ride → Forward cabin, window seats away from lavatories
  • Quick disembarkation → Forward cabin aisle seats
