Stay at the bulkhead. D and H are the best seats, 'cause the wall extends out a bit, giving you a tiny bit of area alongside to "work" (put a bag down and get inside).
Maybe closer, too tired to measure, but it looked about the same.
A and L, are second in line (good view), some space in front to work, but you have to climb over 2 people to get out.
C and J, are bad for my needs. Your feet are IN THE AISLE.
Yep, no other place to put 'em, straight out from the seat, your legs extend into doorway, the pathway between J and Y. At least in the middle, B and K, you can put your feet up on the bulkhead (as mentioned, feet up, for me, is the key to Y flying).
19 has unlimited leg room. It's a good option for putting a rolly on the floor. BUT... the rolly and seat C could block the aisle, and the window seat has an obstacle in front.
Still, except for being right on top of the galley with all the light/traffic, row 19, is the second best option.
Having said all that, AA's 787 coach, when full, is a jam packed horrible plane ride, and a sad waste of a spectacular plane.
