Seat: Description: Comments will be available in the near future. Pro: Con:
Seat: 11AC Description: Bulk-head row Business Class seats Pro: This is a good pair of seats for passengers traveling together, and some people might even prefer this pair over the pairs of seats in the middle, as the window pairs provide slightly more privacy and less traffic. With no seats in front, there is a spacious feel, and the window passenger has a relatively easy climb to get to the aisle. You will be one of the first off the plane and through immigrations. The video monitors are mounted on swing-arms, giving you more control over the viewing position. There is also a good view out the window. Con: There is no under-seat storage in front of you. Note that this row is a bassinet position, and your seat assignment might be changed at the last minute to accomodate families traveling with babies. The galley and lavatory is ahead, with the associated traffic. During boarding, most of the passengers will pass by this seat, you might want to consider waiting and board last, and fore-go the pre-flight drinks.
Seat: 12-13AC Description: Standard pair of Business Class seats Pro: Average pair of windows seats, a decent choice for passengers traveling together; some people might even prefer this pair over the pairs of seats in the middle, as the window pairs provide slightly more privacy and less traffic. You will be one of the first off the plane, and there is also a good view out the window. Con: If the aisle seat is in the slanted sleeping position, the window passenger might have a bit of difficulty climbing over to get to the aisle.
Seat: 14AC Description: One of the less desirable pair of Business Class seats Pro: This is often one of the last seats chosen on this configuration, so you might find that you have no seat-mate and two seats to yourself. There is also a good view out the window. If a second jet-bridge is used for Economy Class boarding, this row would have the least amount of traffic passing by. Con: If the aisle seat is in the slanted sleeping position, the window passenger might have a bit of difficulty climbing over to get to the aisle. The galley is just behind the aisle seat, so you will notice more traffic, noise and light pollution. Note that part of the overhead bin above this row is used for emergency equipment.
Seat: 15AC Description: Bulk-head row Business Class seats Pro: This is a good pair of seats for passengers traveling together, and some people might even prefer this pair over the pairs of seats in the middle, as the window pairs provide slightly more privacy and less traffic. With no seats in front, there is a spacious feel, and the window passenger has a relatively easy climb to get to the aisle. The video monitors are mounted on swing-arms, giving you more control over the viewing position. There is also a good view out the window. Con: There is no under-seat storage in front of you. Note that this row is a bassinet position, and your seat assignment might be changed at the last minute to accomodate families traveling with babies. The galley and lavatory is just ahead, with the associated traffic, noise and perhaps odor. The bulkhead in front of the aisle seat does not fully shield the seat, so passing carts and passengers might sometimes bump into your out-stretched legs.
Seat: 16AC Description: Pair of Business Class seats at the last row Pro: This is often one of the last seats chosen on this configuration, so you might find that you have no seat-mate and two seats to yourself. There is also a decent view out the window, although the wing start at around this area, so your view to the rear is somewhat obstructed. Con: If the aisle seat is in the slanted sleeping position, the window passenger might have a bit of difficulty climbing over to get to the aisle. The Economy Class section is just on the other side of the bulk-head behind you, along with its bassinet position and potential crying baby. You will be one of the last Business Class passengers served during meals, and your choice of meal might not be available. You will also be one of the last premium class passengers off the plane and through immigrations. There are also some reports from passengers bothered by the frequent opening and closing of the curtains behind this row as flight attendants pass through.
