Seat Recommendation in J on 76z
I browsed through some of the old threads, and I found one FAQ on aircraft configurations. Though there was a lot of chatter about which Y seats and EconComfort seats to pick, there wasn't much info about J seats. I've been in 1A before, and from what I remember, the footwell seemed a little larger. I don't remember whether noise from the galley/lav was a problem. Does anyone else have a seat recommendation on this aircraft?
Thanks, FTers

just some info about A and D seats: in even-numbered rows the seat is adjacent to the aisle; in odd-numbered rows you have to maneuver yourself across the console/arm/tray structure to get in and out of the seat (odd rows are better if you like to be closer to the window, though)

Beware though, on my outbound flight the light in the forward galley was never turned off and there was no curtain, so it was a minor nuisance. On the return (overnight) flight no curtain again, but then the lights were off, so a bit more comfortable.

No - I am 5ft 9 and 215 pounds - I have never heard a complaint yet. Brilliant seats especially the odd numbered ones IMHO.

I think 1B and 1C are good for couples in that they have an extra high shelf in front of the seats, but I've never had reason to check them. In the B/C section, in every row one seat will be right on the aisle and the other will be separated from the aisle by the table. This alternates between odd and even rows.

I know 7A is usually blocked for the crew, but does DL also block 8A? They were hesitant to release it for me because they said the curtain would be right in front of me. While it was, it was not a problem.

BTW I've been kicked out of 7A a day or so before the flight when it was needed for crew rest.
