Thanks. So which is the better seat? 12AB or 7EF in Econ plus? I don't care about the bathroom but if there is a small cut out for a brief case and backpack to be store under in bulkhead amazing because a lot of people will put up due to row 8. Otherwise I guess I will stay in 12. As for the non moveable middles I don't care.

Which rows lack windows 737-900 V2?
Which rows are missing windows on the 737-900 with 20F/39E+/120E- (V2 on United's website)? I checked SeatGuru's V4, which is the same config, but no rows are labeled as missing windows. I would've expected it to be row 11 or row 12. Does anyone have firsthand experience with this aircraft?

Personally I would do row 4 so I could stretch out my feet far under the seat in front of me, but the "bulkhead in F" debate is very much personal preference as there are a lot of trade-offs.

5 is terrible; half to no recline and the lav is right there. 3 and 4 are largely equivalent; I would take row 3 to be closer to the front for meal priority and also general ambiance.

Transcon flight - Econ+ Next to the Lav or Econ aisle with an Empty Middle?
I'm Gold and have been unable to secure an Econ+ Aisle for tomorrow's EWR-SAN flight (737-900 V3). 7D became available at check-in, but I passed as it has the tray tables in the armrests (I'm 6', 240), so width is as important as legroom. Plus it's directly across from the Lav, so between the smells and people standing over me, I passed and staying with 34C, which currently has 34B empty. There are currently 20 middle seats empty rear of the wing and along with a dozen or so aisle and window seats.
I have a seat alert set for rows 9,10,21 aisles; but if not, I still think I made the right move.
PS = No chance of a CPU, as 19/20 FC seats booked.

If it was me I'd secure the sure win (the extra legroom from E+, even if next to the LAV) and then see if something else in E+ opens up closer to departure.

Well fortunately 9D opened up, so I’m in about as good a shape as possible. FWIW, I’m Gold, and am 24/35 on the upgrade list.
