Be that as it may, would like to poll the experts on the panel on which seats are best in E+. We are currently in 20K and J, and 16L and K on the return UA98 flight. What would be your recommendations?

Thanks!

I think the main thing that this thread reinforces is that seat preferences are subjective. I used to go for 18A or 18L, but then I discovered row 24. My favorite seat is 24L with 24A coming in second. Row 24 seems to fill slowly, so on 1 out of 6 legs, I end up with a row to myself. I sleep very well in 24L.
