J seats:

- Row 19 on such a quiet aircraft may be disturbed by galley noise
- 16A/K - one window only
- 20A/K - one window only


Y+ seats:
- Row 33 is misaligned with the Y cabin behind and is very close to the baby bassinets in row 39

Y seats:
- 60A/K have unlimited legroom, aisle access and a window

Any recommendations if there is wide open seating on the A350-900 besides the very first row in J?

If an overnight flight, towards back of main cabin on -900. Mid to back of cabin on -1000. Anywhere near the front on either variant has too much galley noise. Matters less on short/daytime flight but avoid row 11.

Thanks for the rec. Any thoughts on the middle of the cabin for the 900? Like rows ~16/17. Those seem like they would be the quietest, but there's mentions in this thread about 20/21 being the quietest as well.

Yes 16-17 should be fine.

17-19 are all nice. 19 would give you additional storage space behind the seat, similar to the bassinet space in row 11.

Isnt there a galley and a lavatory behind row 19 too? Not as noisy as the front galley?

Do the left side arm rest lift on 60A or 59A?

Just booked a flight in PY and the only paired seats available were 30AC and HK. The CSR was able to reserve 30AC but warned that 30C is a bassinet/priority seat. How likely is one to get bumped from this seat - would it just be for an infant or can a higher status member be able to bump as well?

Only an infant. Status members cannot bump others from their seats.

Thanks! I guess I'll be playing the infant lottery then.
