Best seats in PE LAX-LHR

Now that we've got our trip booked, I should be able to reserve our seats in 24 hours. I want to reserve 3 together so I know that puts us in the middle. While the first row seems nice, I don't want to take the chance of having bassinets surround us.

Any suggestions on which are the best PE seats to book?

Thanks!

personally i like the last row in PE, guilt-free/bump-free seat recline makes it easier to relax

but i know others prefer to be further forward, and some like the first row, whether front or rear is noisier is really luck of the draw

it's worth checking seatguru too, on some aircraft there are equipment boxes that take room under a few seats

Thanks, sungod!

I would agree with either front or back row in PE. I definitely prefer the back row for an overnight flight so I can recline whenever I want and not worry about upsetting anyone, and not have anyone poking the back of my seat for the IFE, but the front row (if you can get it) is good for a day flight so you can get in and out without disturbing anyone and not have a headrest reclined in your face.

Thanks, LucyLu! I'm grabbing the back row for our night flight, but it looks like the front row seats are already gone for the day flight.

The front row is always marked as unavailable as they are assigned at check in

Thanks, SlimpyJones. If I were to call VA could I request the seats then on our trip back ;) ?
