One option is the penultimate row in biz, but one that looks better to me is the very first row, assuming there's no walkway in front of it (for people to use to cross). From photos I've seen, it looks like the two seats are against the bulkhead. Not ideal (close to rest rooms and galley), but not bad. Thoughts?

p.s. it's 1 D&E I was looking at. Hopefully not a lot of light. 5 D&E also look good, depending on what's in back of them (appears to be back of a galley). We've been in a Dreamliner just once, and liked it, but that was just IAH-DEN (fc).

No overhead bins, so I avoid rows 1 & 2, since I also like to be in center section.
