Which seat should I choose?
« on: March 31, 2025, 11:49:38 PM »
If there's a thread on this already I didn't see it.

Flying TLV to EWR on United 787-10 Dreamliner.  Looking for the best economy seat recommendations.
Seems 42L might be a good choice. Any reason not to take it?

It has those thick armrests with the screen in it IINM, pretty narrow seat.

United Boeing 737-900


Normally I would want the bulkhead row 7 but not sure what to do because of the bathroom. Is row 8 ABC less legroom or regular bulkhead, and would that be any better than row 7 in regards to proximity to the bathroom?

I personally would go for 7F but I rarely had a bad experience with BR (for some reason the smell in the back of the plane is usually worse) unless in aisle and people congregating.

Quote "This seat has the best legroom on Economy Plus area... enough area to extend your legs, as the bulk head wall do not extend all the way to the floor, it allows to storage under the last seat of the First Class row."

If there are children put them near the aisle (I would do 7D-F +8D), if you are all adults the taller ones in 7 and the one your upset with in 7D. (It's usually not that bad.)
