noooooobs,

Seating is personal preference. There are no 'best' seats as it's whatever you prefer. If you're on an ex-TOM 763, row 6 is the roomiest, row 20 on the ex-FCA. If its legroom you want, they are the rows with the most. Bear in mind these seats are marginally narrower as the tray table and IFE screen fold out from the arm rest and the arm rests are fixed.

But remember, there really are some "WORST" seats on the FCA 767 planes.
Row 19 does NOT recline but row 18 does.
So if you are stuck in 19 with an inconsiderate“slam it back at takeoff” person in row 18,
then you are going to have a very unpleasant journey with their headrest virtually stuck up your nose and much, much less than 33 inches of space.
You will be very lucky indeed if you manage to eat your meal or see your TV.
Row 19 on FCA767 planes should be avoided at all costs.

Row 19 does recline (unless they've changed it).

Not able to book seats yet as they still have the 787 seat plan uploaded. Would of thought they would of changed that by now.

It did NOT recline in January 2013 on the journey to Cancun on a FCA767, and the flight crew were apologetic but could do nothing. It's been reported previouosly by other HT members.
Row 19 on exFCA767s is the row from hell - if, as we had, you get the inconsiderate recliner in front of you.
Apparently because 19 is in front of the emergency exit, the air safety rules mean that it MUST NOT recline.
Maybe BY-TOM-AMM-FCA or Darren could confirm this?

Also row 12 on ex FCA have the toilet doors opening directly onto them all flight. Ex-FCA are not the holy grail for holidaytruths that some members make out.
