What would be the suggested seats to take if travelling in F with 2?
Currently we have selected 1D and 1G one way, so we can sit beside each other, and on the return 2A and 2K so we can have window seats (as we cannot select 1A and 2A).
Just wondering whether we should go middle seats to sit beside each other the whole way, or perhaps take a window and a middle aisle...

Unfortunately as you can't book 1A, if we both wants windows it is 2A and 2K, so opposites sides of the cabin.
We'll keep 1D and 1G for the way over and 2A and 2D for the return (1D and G are still available for the return as well).

I have 2A on an upcoming flight. Just saw that 1A is also open (had been blocked/ occupied previously). I prefer to see an open cabin in front of me rather than a wall. Any reason why I should switch/ not switch seats?

I was in 2A recently. 1A was open. I tried it for a moment and didn't find any significant difference. 2A has a lot of windows. It's a really good seat. Not sure why they think 1A should be a preferred seat.

I think 1A is more like an... uhhh... exclusive (VIP ish) feeling? It could be a thing as 1A is the very FIRST seat in an aircraft. I am somehow forced to select 1A in an upcoming JAL revenue F because 2A/K are both unavailable and I prefer window seats

The mini-cabin has only 7 seats, while First cabin has 8, so it should be arguably similar to First Cabin's noise level. I mean cmon, it's only a total of 15 people with F + mini J, how noisy it could be

In any case, I put a ? there cause I was not sure lolI just select whichever window seat is available. I avoid middle seats.
