Traveling JFK to HND in J and all the window seats are taken. What's the next-best option? I have C, D, E and G to choose from. Thanks!

I would take E over the C, D, G.

If I could ask, why do you prefer the E seat? I'm a pretty big guy...are the aisles wide enough to get in and out of E?

The entry way is the same size as for the window seats.

The middle seats are as private as the window seats, but as you don't have the curvature of the outer wall, they can seem more narrow.

Agree with CPH-Flyer, the middle seat is completely private and you have two exits out. If you're planning on sleeping, do not get the aisle seat.

Also keep checking for seat availability as it varies by ticket class and status: full fare, OWE, AA codeshare or JAL flight number, etc. Other seats may be available nearer time of departure.

Will do, thank you for that. I dropped into an E seat and will check every day to see if a window seat opens up.
