• Originally I had booked 1A (Always like a #1 seat), but then I noted the bulkhead seat isn't much use: 787-9 business class seats bulkhead footwell
• And from memory both DOH and MAN tend to load via the middle door, so that means ones near the back of business actually get off the plane first
• Combined with some level of gallery noise, and I am most likely to mainly be sleeping

So I just changed to 5A right now.

There are a few other seats free throughout the flight, either further back, or still the original 1A/1K seats

Thoughts welcome on preferred seats?
