Solo Seating Suggestions

I'm flying jfk-hel and hel - dfw over Thanksgiving. It's a 333 each way unfortunately. I was hoping for an A350. I can't tell by the seat map if the window seats are for solo travelers?

1-2-1 in J on both the 333 and 359. I'm pretty sure the new "non-reclining" J seats have been announced for both routes.​​

Best source for current AY seatmaps is aerolopa.

I didn't know there was new J class. I probably should google it. New as in soft or hard product? Are the seats similar to AA's 77W zodiac seat?

My latest long haul from ORD and I had 4A. Chuck Norris wannabe in 5A kicked my seat all night long and I woke up every time he started to kick.

So that is why my choice is 7A/L (333) or 8A/L (359) if available.

Fair point, me too, I prefer L always due to sunlight oftenmost and 1L has biggest footwell space, then backrow 7L it is if not already taken by special people😉

Oh no. Now OH-LGG and I am competing about the same seats! My seat of choice has been 8L on A350 and 6A on A330, but with new J, it's 8L and 7L, respectively.

I don't mind the galley, after the meal service it's hardly noisy. But I do mind having someone sitting behind me. If not kicking, at the very least they're grabbing my seat when they get up, often shaking it forcibly...

Thanks for the tip. I changed my seat from 1A to 7L for my upcoming AY5

Thanks for the tip. Selected 7L for all my 4 flights in November. I am assuming if there is a 7 th row in J its the new J seat?

How is 9L on the new 350?

Looks very private but wonder if it is impacted by the galley?

7L was a perfect choice. I liked the new seat. It felt much wider than the old one and privacy is very good.
