Anyone with similar experiences can help me out?
Unless you have tremendously long legs, I would say CX Y seats are fine. I personally only wanted to sit in exit row to guarantee myself to be one of the first Y pax to get off the plane and on the immigration line ASAP. (However, with Global Entry now, this seems to be a distance memory of suffering in line...)
Anyway, I would say, the line can get horrendous if you aren't sitting up front, especially if you happened to bumped into BA flight...
