Favourite Economy seats on 77W and 77L?

Should I just select bulkheads or are there better seats to be had? I don't do much AC long-haul travel so could use a recommendation.

18A/B/J/K are by far the best Y seats on the 77L/77W IMO.

Row 18 is always my choice for 77W or 77L (assuming you're not on the HD).

18 B, D, G, or J are my top choices.

I find 18 A and K can get out without the aisle seat moving.

For the reference, I am 5'9 and 3/4 and I can just barley touch the bulkhead with my legs stretched full out up and straight.

I guess the reduced seat width isn't a big issue? That's one reason I didn't book it. Also, do they have a window? I don't plan to take A or K but just curious

Im on the non-HD aircraft

Yes, there's a window.

Seat width may be slightly reduced, but not having someone sitting in a middle seat is much more valuable IMO.

If you are 6'0 or taller you are better off with 19 C or H or row 31 A,C,H or K, as in row 18 you'll hit the wall with your feet stretched out.

Agree, but be prepared to do battle with the FAs: both times I've sat in 19H they have started meal service at the centre row and moved on to to row 20; forgetting the window row 19. And have seemed snotty about being reminded when it happened the third time on the same flight.

It's either the 77W or 77L that has no window in row 19 - pretty sure it's the 77W. I'm sure someone can confirm.
