The other issues of increased traffic etc are probably balanced by the improved privacy and more ‘intimate’ (oo-err missus) cabin.
Struggling to decide - talk about first-world problems!
As I think was already mentioned the service does not start from the front of the cabin but rather is staggered, so being at 23A might in fact be better than being at 18A, because you may be served earlier, your order will be taken on a phone and EK rarely runs out of first choices so you can probably have whatever you want
