What's the difference between 1 A/B and 1 K/L?
Currently in 2A but pretty much everything is open still (flight not until March).
I definitely want a window, as I plan to sleep. Don't care too much about forward vs. rear-facing.
K/L are adjacent to galley and associated noise. A/B has more direct access to lavs.
1A/B becoming available has seemingly become coincidental with the reminder notice about meal pre-order. I noticed this last two times on 772HD redeyes where I don’t select a meal because I skip them on redeyes. Both times I was watching for 1AB to be released and the reminder notice was coincidental with seat release. I’m going to watch this event-pair one more time before I start using the pre-order reminder as a 1A/B-availability alarm.
