Btw, just don't go by what seats are shown blocked on the seat-map, call them to ask for it. I had noticed row 3 seats always showed blocked on one of my reservations, but was able to select it upon calling EK.
I've never sat in row 4 - it's behind row 3 and the galley can see in to the suite which some may not like.
As above call EK and get a better seat unblocked.
