BTW, the last time I flew in F in this route it was last October in Old F. I was glad of 1a as the FA told me the movie/tv stars and spouses behind me were whooping it up for the most of the flight as I slept soundly....
Go with 1A if you like privacy - see my post 220 on p15 on this thread, which is still valid! 1A doesn't seem to have the issue of use a cupboard that others have mentioned about 1K, even then I don't think it's a big deal. Having also done 4E and 4F, I would probably choose 2A or K in future.
