Ok. I'm travelling in coach cos I'm poor...
But as OW Sapphire, I can choose the exit seat. My question is - does the window seat at Row 41 really gets leg room cut due to the emergency exit slide? The diagram above shows that the seats are further back. If its just jutting out a bit, I guess its ok.
I usually prefer the window over the aisle seats. So getting the C or J seats are my second option.
Thanks..

I reckon 2l/4l/6l at least these seats has a window if your interested. But this info is very useful for the user above.
Yeah the other one is more private it has 2 tables side by side consider to be and look more privacy. But i still think a solo seat on your own with a window is fantastic. Ive never flown business class but the pictures and illustration is impressive. Lucky you folks who does hop on the business class.

I found this direct link and it talks about which is best on business class seating. Not sure if this has already been shown here but here it is just in case.

Just bought BC tickets for wife, 7 year old and me ORD-HEL non stop.
What would be best seats for three of us? I currently have 3D/H/L and 4D/H/L.
Also, I'm EXP so what are best lounge options? I will not be able to us FL lounge in T3 since we're going out of T5.
Thanks

Assuming you have this or similar seat map
D/H/L is a great combo for three and if junior is independent, the young ones loves getting the freedom of alone seat L. The L-seats alternate between being closer to aisle and closer to window. If you want to keep the group as much together as possible the odd rows (1,3,5) are to be chosen.
Regarding ORD lounges, I leave that to someone else - haven't been there in 15 years.

Yes A/D/H on row 2,4,6 is not a bad combo either. There is slightly more distance between A and D seat than between H and L, but "the throne" is appealing to kids of all ages.

NOTE: I did change both to 4A, 4D, 4H. My 7 year old is pretty independent, he already does not let us come near him when we are near his school or crossing a street anymore. He'll love what is referred to "Throne", especially is I tell him that is what it is called.

I've flown once out from ORD T5. I didn't try to go to other terminals but it felt very isolated. I think it is the same as with the most US airports: On international flights you can only access the airside in the terminal you are departing from.

I live outside Chicago so fly from ORD all the time. I was wondering if I gave a boarding pass for T5 and tried to get through security at T3 would they allow me through?

I'm still undecided whether to book a throne seat or "L" seat formy upcoming trips.
Is the foot space noticeably different between the two when in bed mode, or does having the throne make up for this in peoples experience.
Both of my flights are night flights and I'm a bad sleeper anyway.

There is more footspace (when in bed position) in 2L, 4L etc. Those seats have the table by the aisle, meaning that the curvature of plane gives somewhat more space also for the feet. Whether that is worth losing the extra table of a throne seat is up to you.
