I would like a window seat. And something quiet as I have enough trouble sleeping. 80% of the seats are free (only 5/6A, 8K, and a few other seats taken). I'm OWE, so no booking fee. I had currently selected 5K as I like the idea of being n the bulkhead (is it a true bulkhead?), but now I've seen the Aerolopa map it looks like 5K is missing a window.

What seats would people recommend? First priority is footspace. I sort of like being on the side with the larger handicap accessible bathroom for any pajama changes for the overnight flight (but not a big deal). And I want to be towards the front to make it off faster, but would be willing to give that up if a particular seat had more footspace. I definitely want a window that I actually have a view out of (land/water - so the over wing seats are not ideal).

6K is available? As is 8A. There is someone booked in 8K that looks like it might be a bassinet. Any recommendations?

Also, for food service, someone mentioned they serve first based on priority. This makes more sense as last time I flew I couldn't understand the order at all. I was OW Sapphire last time, but now Emerald. How does OW status line up with BA status? I assume highest BA people get priority, but where would OWE status be in the lineup? I ask because I want to get my dinner as fast as I can and then get to sleep. Plus I usually wakeup early and want to get on with my breakfast so I can get cleaned up after with enough time before landing (it always feels like the breakfast is a bit rushed before landing IMO).

Thanks in advance!
