I've flown in 1A and 2K and would take 1A over 2K any day of the week. The galley is on the K side of the plane and I heard them putting meals together. 1A was quiet, though I'm sure 2A might be more quiet, as long as the J cabin behind isn't noisy.

End of the day these are major first world problems. But fwiw, my first choice is usually 2A, followed by 2K if 2D is likely empty, followed by either 1A or 2A (agnostic), followed by the middles. I almost always fly alone.

I think it's luck of the draw...I've actually had "much" better luck in 2A than 1A. I've never encountered noise from the J cabin, whereas on a number of occasions the FAs (and once the pilots) were chatting right in front of 1A, which serves as both the ISM's seat as well as the stairs up to the flight crew rest area.

You're right about the first world problem part though. But then again this is FT
. Personally, I'm thankful just being fortunate enough to be able to experience F.

Just found 2 F seats for my LAX-HKG award flight next week. I called US reservations and was told 2A and 2K were blocked. They gave us 1D and 1K. We will see what we end up with at check-in or once on the plane.

I just flew in 1A on a mid-afternoon flight outside of HKG. The cabin crew were quite loud before/after take off, while they sat in their seats directly ahead of me. It really might be luck. I never heard any noise from J for that matter. I'd prefer 2A.
