I would go for the seat furthest away from any children or old people. I know that's not much use really, but from my experience on long distance flights, it's much better to stay well clear of the kids and old folks... especially the kids.

If you can afford First Class you'll have lots of room otherwise ask for the emerency window seats, they have more leg room than the other enconomy seats.28 B or C or H or K 9But I'm not sure you can pre book them, you may have to ask when you check-in at the airport.

Personally I don't really care as long as I'm next to a window :-)

Even though most people like to sit by the window, I wouldn't recommend it. On long flights there's nothing to see out of the window, except when taking off and landing and it's not worth the discomfort the rest of the flight. It depends a lot on the type of airplane, of course, the big ones are far more comfortable. In any case, I'd choose a seat by the aisle because you can stand up and move when you get tired, when you need to go to the restroom, etc, without bothering others. 28C - 28H would be my choices. Or the others on that row. Probably taken already.:-(.

It all depends on how tall you are. If you need legroom, sit in the bulkhead. Just remember that your seat arms won't go up there, if you are flying with someone you know. It really doesn't matter so much. Try to be closer to the middle of the plane as the back is pretty noisy. The bathrooms stink and there are usually alot of people hanging out around them.

You want either aisle or window... never a middle seat.From the chart, For a first choice, I would recommend Row 29 (A or K), Row 28 (BCDGH or J) (for extra leg room) and anything from row 25 and forward (larger seats and more leg room).Other than those, aisle or window.

Emergency seats as there is no one in front of you because of the emergency door, thought they will ask if you are strong enough and fit enough to open the door in a real emergency.Otherwise i personally like the ones at the very rear of a section near the toilet as the children/babies are at the front rows of each section for the use of the cots.
