Best BusinessElite seat on a 767-300?
We're flying the DL156 from LAS to AMS via MEM on the 6th of January. When I look at the seat map every seat is still available, except the one for pilot rest and one more in the middle row at the end of the cabin (row 6).
What would be the best seat to choose? I know have 1F and 1G
I still hope for a miracle and we get the refurbished 76, but doubt that will happen.

I would personally stay away from row 1 as I find it restrictive in leg room. (Granted, I am 6'4", but I don't feel restricted in non-bulkheads.) I would go for row 2 or 3 personally. (I stay away from 5/6 when possible because of the galley/lav and the noise from Y) Also, even though there is a curtain between between the galley and cabin, I find that row 1 does have some light pollution during all-nighters. So bottom line is I would take 2A/B F/G or 3A/B F/G. This is just my personal opinion thought; I'm sure there are conflicting ones.

I think the odds are against MEM getting a reconfigured 763 in this early stage but that would likely change your seat selection.
There is a long thread somewhere about the 763s but much of it has to do with personal preference.

There is a difference in legroom on the right side. I always opt for 3 or 4 F/G. Row 2 is too close to the galleys for my taste. Agree on avoiding the bulkheads.
