In the rear cabin I probably won't recommend 21A. Admittedly the reason I've never sat in it before and don't have the intention of doing so if I had the choice is due to its proximity to the bathroom.

Personally I avoid those minicabin on longhaul due to the folks in back using the J lavs and walking by my seat, but that's just me.

It applies to the following CX planes
77K
35G (a359)
33K
33E

35K (a350-1000) is exempt, bc J class is all bw doors one and two. So is 77A (4 class bird), because J ends at Door 3.

Aria (new CX J, plane designation 77J) in theory suffers from a similar issue as the four plane types above (basically rear minicabin J mixed with PEY and/or Y between Doors). But in practice Aria rear minicabin is much bigger and there are 4 lavs immediately behind PEY cabin at Door 3. We'll see how that one unfolds but it's not relevant for you here!

Thanks for the great insights!
