- Solo Travelers:
- Seat A or L with an odd-numbered window seat provides more privacy than even-numbered window seats open to the walking aisle area.
- Seat 1A, 1L in the front cabin, or Seat 9A, 9L in the rear cabin for more legroom but close to the galley.
- Avoid D and G in odd-numbered seats in the middle rows because those seats are so close to one another, and therefore it’d be awkward to sit that close to a stranger.
- Also, avoid D and G in even-numbered seats in the middle rows because those seats lack privacy.
- Couple Travelers:
- Even-numbered D and G seats because those seats are close to each other.
