I like row
8. I can recline without thinking about it. Row 8 is in front of the wing; and, I enjoy looking out the window.
I agree with others

that don't like row 9.
Everything past row 9 and you have the wing blocking your view.
5AB and 6CD are too close to the front/bulkhead. It's claustrophic.
As for that darn dvd player, I place my meal tray
over the base of the player to hold it down, while I view the movie. A flight att taught me that trick.

Kennedy crews.
