It used to be 17 D or F for me. till Co took away 16 & 17 for crew rest. 18 is now for Handi-cap Why you got me as its like any other row, maybe cause its the 1st non-blocked row.

Anyway I tried 32 once and that was once too many. Since the armrests do Not go up and the tray tables are in them it means you have less room in the width of the seat, I liked the extra leg room being 6'2" but didnt like being squeezed into the seat. Also its a pain for me at least every time I wanted to get in or out to have to put the screen away first.

I dont like the Window even in BF, I prefer an aisle seat , in BF that means the middle section where the person next to me has an aisle and no need to have to bother me to get in or out unlike if your on the sides. As for coach the same thing by taking an asile in teh middle section theres only 1 other person who needs to bother youto get out and if the person on the other asile is traveling with them then you got it made as let them bother them the whole trip.

As nice as it is to see Israel or the Alps even more so from the air, Id give that up in a sec in order to have my comforts for the other 10 hrs of the flight. 10 mins of being able to look at TLV is not worth it to to me. One can always hire out a private plane and fly above Israel, you cant get back the sleep you lost by the person asking to let them out or by them waking you as they climb over you to get out , Yes it happened to me in BF numerous times when I had no choice but to sit in the aisle along the sides. also I try for row 4 or 3 in the middle as L2 is the door that is usually used to deboard at TLV and the further up the longer till you get off.

My 1st choice now is 18F (18 D&E are blocked) then 19 D or F. Of cause if 17 wont be used for crew-rest I try to get into my 17 D or F my long time favorites.
