Also, what exactly is F4/A4? Any reason to select 2A over 2K?
F4 A4 is the number of seats for sale in each fare class. F is full First, A is discounted First. F4 is the max you will see for EK even if there are 14 F seats (like on the A380).
2A is more private as there is a wall (the backside of 2F) across from it as opposed to the open door of 2F across from 2K. If there is no one in 2F, then it's not an issue.
