Tangent: why are the middle-pair seats D/F on the 788,781 but D/G on the 772,3?

look at the economy section. A is window and D and F is aisle. Same for PE and Polaris.
the better question is why are there so many missing row numbers.. I spent a 20 minutes explaining to someone once that the plane didn’t really have 60 rows .. “but that’s what my ticket says!”

it may be confusing.. but it’s meaning to “line up” consistently throughout the plane for who has an aisle and window seat.

My understanding is the missing row numbers are done for the same reason, e.g., they want P+ to start at row 20, Y to start at row 30 (for the reconfigured planes), etc. On the narrowbodies they make exit rows 20/21; not sure if there is something analogous for widebodies.
In my estimation, the row numbering is kind of helpful for frequent flyers, but as you noted definitely can confuse infrequent ones.

Didn't see this question in the thread yet.... when traveling as party of 2 in Polaris, can the dividers between seats D and F be lowered for the flight? Which seats are better when traveling together? Odd or even (side by side or angled)?

Yes. The divider has a control switch and can be lowered Or raised as you please. We prefer the side by side (not angled), you can talk across easier. Though obviously any pair will do if that’s the only choice and you want to sit close.

I think the bassinet should be at 1A/L for this aircraft.

Going to be flying with SO on 787-10 in J. Every odd-numbered D/F pair is open. Main goal is to maximize privacy / avoid foot traffic to try to minimize coronavirus exposure. Which row would you pick? Thanks
