What would you go for? I'd chosen row 2 as it's my favourite row, but now I am thinking I'd rather maximise the change of not having someone next to me.

The bulkhead is much closer to you if you sit in row 1, and I also imagine it's more likely that someone else will end up sitting there.

Would you go for a row further back? The flight is in a few days and it's currently showing J9 and Y9, which suggest that it's quite open, but things may change drastically between now and then.
