Kudos on an very informative TR; thank you for sharing!
Though, I'm mystified as to why you even bothered comparing this service with BA F?
Admittedly, it's only a sub-6 hour flight to LHR ex-BOS [and then onwards, if applicable, on sham-Euro business class] but I can't justify clients paying for BA's F when J is just as mediocre.
Glad you were able to sleep thru the turbulence. My worst experiences have almost all been over the Pacific in winter.
Thanks again!

I would still pick the 2nd row. 1 reason some people might pick the first row are if you're a lovey dovey couple and want to be closer to your partner but it's still really moot as the seats are very private and you can't see each other across the aisle unless you're both leaning forward at the same time. And there is the novelty of being near the nose for some folks.
