Was this a 787 plane? I checked EF for the next couple of days, and I see it operated by a 787 that perhaps is configured with a first cabin but both forward cabins are sold as J. Seat map for tomorrow shows a number of what I guess are F seats occupied:
My flight next year is an A321 in what I think is standard mid-haul configuration (staggered 1-2/2-1). I've flown that to TLV in the past.

Seems to me it should be permitted. As you say, J lavatories get busy.

Very good to know, thanks.
