For couples who want to sit “together” in Polaris, even-numbered L seats combined with the odd-numbered F seat one lower in number (e.g. 10L/9F) gives some ability to see/talk across aisle because the openings line up almost exactly.
Standard size rollaboards can only be accommodated in overhead compartments along the window and not in the center bins.
Overhead compartment above 1A is limited to a small bag, and the slightly larger bin is shared with 2A and 2D, which may result in someone in the area putting the bag in row 3 or 4. Often, there is flight supplies stored in the bin above 2A and 3A as well - you can ask the FA to move them.
Misaligned window in the coveted window seats at 7A/L and 17A/L.
Only one window (close to monitor) at 11A/L.
No "front" window on 15A/L, but one next to head and a second useable when reclined.
Oxygen equipment is stored above 12A, which results in unusable bin space. (Note that bin space is pretty generous given spread of seats, so not likely to be a major issue).
No window at 18A/L

Thank you. And another question - solo night flight in Polaris on way to London. I booked 9L but pretty much everything is available. What do you think ? I plan to just go to sleep.

If you want a view, single digit odd row window seats.

Premium Plus seat recommendations
I have just booked a flight for a 767-300 Premium Plus for the first time ORD-ZRH. I’m looking at Row 20 aisle/window and 21 middle seats. They’re both bulkhead rows, and I was wondering if anybody has experience and recommendations for either of these locations.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Welcome to FT!, Phil37830
Moved your post to the 763 Hi-J thead
plus as the PP cabins are fairly similar, you might find Premium Plus (Premium Economy) seats and Experience useful

Key differences
-- Window seat with non-direct aisle access, non-bulkhead footrest, seatback screen
-- Non-windows with direct aisle access, bulkhead footrest with video screen on pop-up arm
There are pluses and minuses with each of these differences and opinions vary -- what matters is what matters to you.

I have the same question I just selected 11A on this aircraft, I was pre-assigned 8 window on the other side but that was angling towards the aisle so I chose this one. Any thoughts about the best J seating on this configuration. Thanks

Seat 31L was great, had 2 full windows and I was able to fully extend my legs to the bulkhead (I'm 5'11"). This seat and 31K have more leg room than 31DEF and more than premium plus seats too. The seat wasn't overly comfortable though and could do with more padding, I put the blanket under my butt, but it was wide enough. The entertainment unit at my seat was malfunctioning at the end but I got two movies in. Overall would highly recommend this seat

Just happily got upgraded to Polaris LHR-EWR. Currently assigned 9L, which is a window. Other seats are available. This is a day flight, altho I have the same flight for the outbound night flight. I like privacy. Is this the best seat? Thank you for any thoughts.

Can't really go wrong with the odd number seats, unless you miss a window and I forget which seat that is. The are positioned straight forward, unlike the even numbers which angle to the aisle. I find them to have more space too, or at least the perception of more space.

Agreed. They are all great. At least for Polaris
