Hello. My first time in EK J coming up in a few weeks, GLA - KUL and then NRT-GLA a couple of weeks later. Travelling with my brother.

On the NRT-DXB leg, seat map looks like the attached photo (apologies for the formatting, doing this from my phone).

23A/K are available. I’ve read up on the pros/cons. I think I’m happy with the seats we’ve chosen - A column and close to the front so less traffic and earlier service.

Would be grateful if someone could remind me what I’d be missing by passing on the famous 23A/K? Privacy? Space? Benefits seem marginal against the more forward seats?
