Problem with 1A is you might get somebody needy behind you, meaning there will be tons of foot traffic by your seat. IIRC, 2A also has an additional window?
Ive only done CX 1 once and it was a couple years ago (my first intl F flight) I did notice some FAs uses the A side aisle to get back and forth from J, i think they did it to compensate the other side since they were less private. Ive never combined an AS flight with a partner on anything international so no need to worry about the trusted traveler number falling out for me

Sorry I should have told you that you will need agents to look segment by segment to get the CX awards to work right after looking up segment by segment on BA site. I had that happen once on a BOS-JFK-SFO-LAX-ANC F booking. They couldn't see the BOS-JFK-LAX when i tried to drop the SFO leg. Once they added JFK to the search criteria it came up.
