I hav my dog with me, so I think that a bulkhead is better due to the footwell.
Row 2 doesn't have anything open. On my last flight, Row 8 felt really cramped, and it is noisier. Also, the guy next to me was super hostile.
I used to love 8D, but it felt very cramped on my last few flights in row 8.
I was thinking that 1D would feel less claustrophobic since there is just one seat next to it.
As always I'm open to your thoughts and suggestions.
1D puts you about 4 feet from the front lavatory. If the usual lav sounds and smells is your kind of thing, then 1D it is. I'll never sit anywhere but 8E, then 8D, if available. 8E because you are slanted slightly away from the aisle and the larger lav is on the same side. Can't agree about the cramped feeling. Larger footwells like Row 1 and 2A, 2B. And I don't think 8E, 8D are any louder than 1K, 1L, IMHO.
