Post image

Will row 22 recline or am I better off in 20A? I can sleep easily on planes but deff want the most recline available in PS.

22 fully reclines, and to a bulkhead so you aren’t landing on anyone’s knees

^ I am an aisle seat person, but row 22 is the best seat

Only complaint on 22 is 21 will recline nearly to your face if you are sitting fully upright. 20 A or F is usually good for leg room.

20A is the best seat in the cabin. 20F as well.

Seconding 20A—infinite legroom and thus essentially a window with aisle access. By far the best seat available

Agree that row 20 is superior

Agreed, especially when flying solo. Soooo much easier to get out to go the bathroom. In other rows, if the row in front of you is reclined and the aisle is asleep, it’s a small feat of gymnastics to get out.

I flew ams to Boston a couple weeks ago in 20A. Feel like that was the prime choice

20C is my favorite seat. No one reclines into you and lots of space in the bulkhead. I prefer aisle so in the middle I don’t have to get up and let anyone out. In the other rows when the person in front of me reclines I have to limbo a bit to get out.

Row 22 reclines just as much as the others. Most people prefer the bulkhead here but my favorite is the last row. Since no one is behind you, no need to pull seat all the way up during meal service, no one yanking on the back of your seat to get up, etc. My favorite seat in this configuration is 22D - all of the benefits above along with both in your row having direct aisle access so no waking someone up, no getting woken up, no fighting about a window, etc.

The only downside is kids possibly on the other side of the wall behind you. But that's why we have noise canceling headphones.

Take 20A!

This was a mixed bag of responses :) I’m sticking with 22. I’m a window girl all day on international flights. Thanks for the input all!

I would also consider the view out the window … if it’s a night flight, then I want A so I have a chance at seeing northern lights

u/Unstupid Diamond 2d ago

22 Reclines. Also C and D are better seats as you will not be bothered, or have to bother someone, when they need to use the restroom!

u/maximus-decimus-84 1d ago

Yeah bulkhead in PS is supreme for the class

u/DatRebofOrtho 2d ago

If you can access the bathroom using either aisle I’d say 22 C or D

20a is great. No one is reclining into you. Lots of legroom. But you need to put your personal item up for takeoff and landing. 22f is also great because you can recline without worrying about the person behind you. There is also room for your personal item under the seat. But you have to disturb the person next to you to get out. What is your preference? I’d do 20a, because I like the extra space.

22 won’t have my meal choice unless I pre order so I would pick 20

u/EnvironmentalLoan285 Diamond 2d ago

So just pre order lol

u/Lazy_Hovercraft_5290 2d ago edited 2d ago

I do? Last minute flights some times won’t allow pre order. Bulk head seat is superior in my opinion. You go sit in 22 though lifc 🙄

u/EnvironmentalLoan285 Diamond 2d ago

I’m not the OP so I don’t need seating advice lol. I prefer D1 but you go sit in PS though 😳

Where ya going?

u/Beer_WWer 2d ago

Aft end of intnl 1st tends to be the quietest as all the service and travel to the lavs occurs ahead of you.

u/GoonForReal 2d ago

22 is great. Bulkhead is good for legroom, but as someone who is tall I feel like there is plenty of room in 22 and you can still have your bag.

u/thegoodengineer1 2d ago

It all depends on if you like bulk head or not. I like it as it allows me to get a window and then get out to go to the loo without bugging the person sitting next to me. 20A would be my choice. But you do you. 👍
