I'm booked on a Northwest flight from NRT to SFO on the A330-200.
I'm traveling with my cat. So, while I usually want a window seat, I'm sure I'll get up a few times to go to the lavatory to check on my cat and see if she'll dare to eat or drink anything.
I've been on the NWA seat map page and 38G looks great. I don't care about speed getting off the plane. I'm going to get stopped because I have a pet.
Anyway, SeatGuru.com and SeatExpert.com have different layouts of Row 38 and 39. SeatGuru.com and the NWA site show that there are 3 seats starting with row 38. SeatExpert.com is showing that 3 seats start with row 39. I'm not really sure how much difference it really is between 38 and 39, so I've played it safe and have chosen 39G for now.
I'm thinking the NWA seat map is the best authority but I'm wondering if anyone here has flown in those seats who can let me know which site is wrong. Also, if 3 seats to a row does start in Row 38, is there a significant difference between 38G and 39G?
Thanks in advance.

After reading this thread I switched to 1H and 1J. Good choice or should we go back to 2H and 2J?

I'm booked on EWR to AMS on seat 1J and AMS to BOM in seat 1A. On the return leg I have BOM to AMS 1A and AMS to EWR 1J.. Will the 1A seat be regretful because of the lavatory, or should I move my 1A seats to 2 J?

Some discussion on this in here, but nothing definitive...
Do people generally prefer 11C/G or 29A/B/H/J on the 332?
I'm on one LAX-NRT in March, and the last time I flew this bird was PDX-AMS. I know 29 is good, but have no experience with 11.
Thanks!

If my u/g (domestic) does not clear I am in 11G next week. I'll let you know what I think. Having looked at it before it looks good. A ton of leg room but like 29 giving up a little width for the TV and table. I have been in all the 29 seats. I hate the window because of the stupid maganize pouch that is always packed to the gills. I end up unloading it into the overhead bin.

Traveling with Delta. Have selected seat 10H and J. But now I read that the window view is not perfect on this seat. How bad is it really? Is it half a "window row" that is missing, or is it much more? For me it is no issue leaning a bit, but not too much.
Does anyone have a photo or a good description on how this view is? If it is too bad, we have a chance to switch seats.
Thanks!

There is one missing window in this row, immediately next to the seats 10A and 10J. It's not ideal, as when sitting in these "window" seats you have to lean forward a bit to look out the window. But the other benefits of sitting in that row (especially on a long haul flight) outweigh this minor inconvenience.

Also wondering about row 22 vs. row 10 on the A332. at 6', my priority is legroom. I recall that on the A333, my feet still hit the wall in row 10.
Does anybody know if the distance from row 10 to the bulkhead is the same on the A332 and the A333?

Anyone recent experience on the A332? Seems pretty much same to A333 except split cabin right? And the galley's still remain an issue? Any other thoughts?
