Not an easy choice, IMO. Do you want a window with no direct aisle access, or an aisle? Both have a neighbour in 5B or 6D. I would personally pick 6G, as I prefer direct aisle access, but you may want to hope that a neighbour in 5B does not recline the seat on a day flight, if you prefer the window.

) I thought I should share my humble experience from row 23. I recently flew on the A340-300 and albeit legroom would be somewat restricted for 23 A, D,E and H, the seats B, C, F and G actually allows for passengers to slightly angle their feet and strech them into business class. Being 1,89m tall I actually managed to sleep in both 23F and 23G. As the seats are bulkhead seats there are no one reclining into you (yeay!). The seats are somewhat narrower, but should not be a problem for anyone who fits in a normal Y-seat.

zrh-jfk in F with infant (on lap) 1D-1G or 1k-2K
Hi FT,
So we are going zrh-jfk with a 9 month old infant. We are thinking about seat options:
I confirmed we can take 1K 2K. Our clear first choice would be 1DG if they could put a bassinet in one of those for couples. They cannot.
I put this in the Swiss forum rather than travelling with children as it is relevant to Swiss F layout. I hope that is ok.
Any thoughts/opinions are very much appreciated. What would you do?
Kind Regards,
Bege

- Our first thought was 1DG, we sit together as a family but we don't get the bassinet which is only available in the K seats.
- We could take 1K 2K, both with bassinets but not sit next to each other.
- Lastly Swiss mentioned 1G and 1K, but they are far enough away that I don't think it would feel like sitting next to each other and we get a stranger in 1D. This is my least liked idea.

If this is not possible i would definitively go for GK, this will allow your little one to sleep/rest on the k side and you can have a nice dinner for two in the g seat.
Lastly, i would check again if LX allows 9month olds in bassinets, they are quite strict about weight and size and if the baby doesn't fit you'll have to have him/her on your lap.

To my best knowledge the new first class should allow for bassinets at every seat..

They also mentioned he can be up to 11 kilos in a bassinet. He will be under unless he starts eating McDonalds and Riesen Cordon Bleu.
My wife agrees with you on the GK but i still don't like the idea of someone next to me. Maybe I'm being too picky.
vs. 340s which have, well, an older first class.

so I will be travelling YUL-ZRH-SIN in C early June and I managed to snag seat 4K earlier today on the ZRH-SIN leg noticing that it was freed up! seems to be a great/much recommended seat according to the reviews i've seen. was originally in seat 9G.

I had this seat last week from PEK to ZRH and it is nice, only 2 gripes, you can't lean at the window and your head is nearer to the isle. It is very quiet in the mini cabin and not much foottraffic from F to C. On the return I had seat 4A - the throne - it was excellent!

would you still stick with 4K over any other seat in the back, larger cabin?
