What are people's strategy for selecting seats when it is uncertain which seats you will actually get?
My strategy is usually to stay on window seat on either row 2 or 3 on old config and row 2, 3 or 4 on new config. (avoid first and last rows)
Tweak at airport check-in to move to a seat without someone on the isle side.
Row 1 has IFE too far, and has less windows for the row.
Last row (row 4 for old or row 5 on new config) also has less windows, and the galley right behind you, as well as having only A seat available (opposite side has the pilots rest area blocked off).
