This was the first time I have ever sat in the rear cabin and I may have been unlucky but I was surrounded by lots of people who spent the whole flight passing wind and it felt like this lingered in this area. Also the magazine rack above your seat is annoying when people keep coming over to it and look at you every time.

First and last time for me, id rather sit anywhere in the front cabin over this seat or any of the rear section in the future.
Well, I would be surprised if statistically there are more "people who spent the whole flight passing wind" than elsewhere on the upper deck, but you never know. The flight is not long enough, but I guess passing wind and bar attendance may be related...
Yes, the magazine rack is there, but I have hardly ever noticed anyone coming over there to get a magazine. I must admit though that there once was a magazine there with a face on the cover with looked like it was staring at me. After a while I changed the front magazine for a different one. Problem solved.

Each to his / her own. Gives others a slightly better chance to get 23A/K. ^
