The seat map for my trip in my reservation shows the 9-row configuration. Which configuration are your comments related to? Right now window row 1 and 2 are available. I'm >6ft tall, so would appreciate a larger footwell if it exists in row 1 vs potentially more privacy in row 2. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Two things, already mentioned.

1. Never assume you will be guaranteed a type of cabine, because AF and KLM tend to make last minute changes of appareil. On TATL, this could mean even a 772, 789, or A330 for the RDU route.

2. RDU is not a premium destination, so the Opéra (48J) config appareils will be prioritised towards other markets first, like JFK, HKG, SIN, etc.....when I flew it last winter, it was definitely the Optima config (34J).
