1st. time flying CX F in May and really looking forward for the experience. Called and 1A and 2A are taken, I appreciate your suggestion for the next best option (flying solo), as I feel a little disappointed with the rest of the sets by your description.

My only bit of advice would be to manage your expectations a bit. If you've flown long haul J, personally, I don't find F that much of an upgraded experience over it. That being said, any long haul F flight I've had has always been my best flight experience without a doubt.

I have personal reasons for preferring K over A, always (I am left handed, thus find it much more comfortable to have my left hand free to use with no restricted movement). No matter which seat you end up in however, you'll still have a great experience. I can see being in any D seat would be disappointing cause you don't have the three windows, but again, you'll still have a great experience.

It's quite private no matter which seat you get. I wouldn't be disappointed sitting in 1K or 2K. I've had one CX F flight before and sat in 1A, which I'd take over 2A any day. The difference in galley noise/disturbance is negligible in my experience. That being said, 1A is taken on two upcoming sectors so I've had to settle for 2A .
.I had 2D auto assigned, but 1K was available and selected it per your advice, and I really wanted a window seat.

The ordering of seats takes into account privacy, availability of a window, potential foot traffic, and potential galley noise.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I'm currently assigned 1K but was considering 2K. As i'm flying in May i'll check closer to my flight date because i'm really looking forward for 2A.

Flying the 77G HKG-SFO in early March. Thoughts on 23A vs. 15K or 16K? I don't care about engine noise. Thanks!

I personally would stay away from mini cabin on 77G because there are no lavatory in Premium Econ, some of the people in PE will try to use business class lavatory
