Best FC row on 738 for max. sleep potential (redeye)?
Wife and I are flying OGG>SEA next week in F and the F section is almost empty. What row would you choose for max. sleep potential? I'm guessing row 3 because it's the last row so no one will be grabbing the back of your seat when they get up. Your thoughts please.

I have never seen the word "pheaseants" in my language.... but I prefer row 3, or 4 if there is one, for the storage under the seat in front, and yes, you have less chance of the person behind you grabbing the back of your seat.... in the last row, even the " pheaseants" wont likely be grabbing your seat back.

Go with 1F. No one will recline into your space, and you don't get blinded by the galley light if you are on the right side of the aisle.

I guess the main negative to row 1 would be the people behind you getting up and grabbing the back of your seat.

Flying 739 "Layout 2" https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Al..._737-900_D.php LAX-EWR in F next week, with premium class behind us. Have choice of sitting in row 3 or last row 4 -I assume the recline is the same, and preordered meal so no worries about not getting our preferred selection.
Any reason not to sit in row 4?
