Wonderful information! Thank you!

By 'perfectly positioned', do you mean the window is a few inches forward of the seat back, so you can sit back, resting your head in the corner formed by the seat headrest and the wall, and be able to turn your head slightly and have a good view? Which also allows one to lean and rest your head against the side wall if you want to sleep.
