I would think that most folk would tolerate the 20 min of passenger walk bys during boarding to the potential rocking during an 8+ hour flight from ones fidgety neighbor.

so, because I don’t know how the chips will far for my upcombing transatlantic AA 777-200er flight; I’ve booked 7L. If it’s not super diamond I’ll have: No rocking, slightly more privacy, far enough from the busiest galley so sleep may be maximized. I don’t think I’ll mind the reverse seat position. If it’s the super diamond I still ok. -but for the pros here, if I’m not considering something better please let me know!

cheers!
