I highly recommend it for a westbound day flight, actually; the lack of a window on your left means there's no possibility of someone's shade being up and affecting your ability to view your AVOD screen.

If you are a light sleeper it might not be the best place for you, but otherwise it's just as good as any other seat in the forward BF cabin.

Most of the good seats are in the rear BF cabin, including the bulkheads with full size footwells.

Seatguru sucks for picking F/C seats, IMO. They're usually all green. I think they are comparing with Y.

Ok, the wall of stink comment was all I needed. 1D is out.

Luckily 5E opened up and I grabbed that; it's the back of the first cabin.

You guys like the second cabin better?? That never fills up until the last minute upgrades clear.
