Yes J on LX A333 is lie flat in staggered fashion. "A" seats are best followed by "K". Front section better than rear as it's more private.

Thanks!

It's not as simple as "A or K" because it's a 1-2-1 // 2-2-1 configuration. The A seats are best when traveling alone but only in EVEN numbered rows (except 14, haha, because it's actually row 13, they appear to be superstitious). In ODD numbered rows there are 2 seats by the window. Then the K side.

Agreed, the mini-cabin (rows 4 and 5) is pretty sweet.

As for release schedule it's been discussed in the past, and you should do some searching. It appears to be closer to departure, but varies widely, and also by route. YUL-ZRH seems to be released further out, but it's kind of hard to tell...
