There are still two windows but not good ones in the last Business cabin.
Yeah based on the math, it appeared the first class is filled. I'll be hot on the check in button today to see if anything changes. I saw the two window options but being backwards I'm wary. I've never done that on a plane and going backwards can trigger motion sickness for me.

I did end up in the middle so 10k is worth it if offered.


Thanks to both for the info!
