Do FTers with regular A330-300 experience have any preference if in the center section? Flight is an even number if that will matter for FEBO. Leaning towards Row 5 or Row 2. Is Row 2 quiet enough despite being closer to where the forward galley and lavs are located?
Either is perfectly fine IMO - the forward galley isn't used a ton and the forward lav is so far forward I don't think it'd even bother row 1.
If it were me, I'd go for row 5 for two reasons:
1) There are video screens above row 1. Usually they are good about turning them off, but at the end of the day it's something you don't directly control and row 2 is closer to them.
2) I just personally prefer mid-cabin unless there is a distinct advantage to one of the ends (like 7A/D on the 777). But that's totally a personal thing.
