But EF is showing that although CW load is very light, UD fwd CW cabin is very busy with main deck and aft CW cabin [currently] virtually empty.
So is a busy fwd UD CW cabin still better than a sparsely populated main deck or aft CW UD? (FWIW - I'm a GCH so could count on FLY putting an exclusion zone around me...)
I'm not sure if food is loaded by cabin or by cabin class. I flew in a busy UD (380 CW) recently and they ran out of fruit plates for breakfast very quickly. There were none left by the time they got to row 53. The first CC member I spoke to told me only 4 had been loaded for the entire plane (i.e. all of CW), but the 2nd said there were only 4 per CW cabin. If that's the case, you may be better off in a sparsely populated cabin when it comes to meal selection.
