20K will have less foot traffic during the flight but more during boarding. I think catering mostly happens in forward galley, but during meal times you might still have elevated noise levels there. Personally would go with 20K, but neither is a terrible choice.

Thanks for the advice! Havent tried that seat before. As it is close to the lavatory , would I hear a lot of locking and unlocking doors and flushing sound from it?

2 adults & 1 infant (no own seat)
We are flying with our 1.5 year old child business to Hongkong. Which seats would you recommend in the CX A350-900?
We were thinking about booking seats in row A/D or even both in row A. We thought this would be easier to help each other.
What is your experience? Any recommendations?

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?
I'm in 30A. 30C had been bassinet blocked but recently taken. Is it a sure sign that 30C is a bassinet-requiring pax as 30K is still open?
Thank you!

Edit: I have moved to 30K...

Blocked bassinet seat on the seatmap does not necessarily mean it has been taken. I often called into the call center and requested them to slate me in the bassinet seat if no one has really taken it yet. Of course, should a parent with a baby eventually wants to take that seat, it will go to them and I will have to be allocated somewhere else. But most of the time, I eventually got to sit there.
Ah, so the bassinets can be selected by calling in (and are just blocked on web/app self service). Maybe the person who took 30C really likes 30C even though 30HK was open...maybe they prefer the asile (30C/H) and assumes 30K will be eventually taken anyway, and so chose 30C over 30H for better service on the left side (apparently) and/or get on/off faster....

Beware that sometimes even after I had blocked the bassinet seat, not sure if it's system problem, I was randomly thrown to another seat after a few days even though no one has taken the bassinet seat. And I did not receive any notification for having bumped.

But for economy, the first six rows of seats will not be open for green and silver members to choose until online check-in opens, so they cannot call in to block the bassinet seat. However the green and silver members can pay a fee of around HK300-400 to block the seat including the bassinet seat for these first 6 rows in economy. But if eventually the seat has to go to parent/baby, the fees will not be refunded.

Some advice please, taking 10 hour flight on PE. Was originally thinking 30G as no one in front of me reclining. However now thinking 32G is better as I can recline my seat whole flight without feeling guilty of impeding the person behind me. Is the wall behind it blocking the full recline? Thoughts please!
