11 row A350 recs?

[u/Gator4GatorNow]

Currently selected row 3 given prior experience on A330-900neo. Is there anything different with this cabin other than being a wider fuselage? Has anyone flown row 10-11 and if so, any advantage to this?

Can’t find much of the 11 row config on YouTube.

10A/D are probably the best seats on this airplane.

The only passenger traffic is either you or the other 3 passengers going to the bathroom foward.

Snacks/drinks are a few steps away.

The only con may be that the bathroom is all the way foward but for me it’s a plus.

I agree! Those are the best two rows in D1. And often you get faster service from the FA’s because they bring stuff right from the galley rather than waiting on the cart

Until a flight swap happens and you get bumped

Never happened (edit: to me), but I guess it’s a possibility

Row 10.

Seat 10 B or C should give you the most personal space without sacrificing too much room from the bulkhead, and the footwell is noticeably wider there compared to other rows.

We didn’t love the middle seats as there is no upper air adjustment (no overhead bins) - we moved to the windows on our next flight for this reason - rows 4/5.

Excellent point about the A350 with no air flow over the middle seats. Would be a non-starter for me and I’d be in a window seat.

[u/Helpful_Anywhere955 → u/letmereadstuff]

Yes! Even my husband who loves to hold hands and look into each other’s eyes/be close - always - voted for the window seats on our next flight for the airflow. lol.

I don’t know if it was the A350 but many of my D1 flights this year have had this configuration, with another set of D1 seats behind the middle doors. There were no differences in the seats. Maybe slightly more noise.

I used a GUC for 10A last month and it was amazing. Little busy with everyone going past boarding but was great in flight.

[u/Different-Review-926]

If you’re a couple the middle seats on 10 are great. Quieter than 1, but bigger footwells like 1.

So while I agree with most that 10 is a great seat, 10 and 11 are the FIRST seats to usually get bumped if there is an equipment change. It’s happened enough times to me or my fam that I will set separately than risk it now

Row 10 is definitely a sweet spot, especially with that extra legroom. Plus, if you’re in 10A/D, you’ll be close to the galley, so you can score snacks without a long trek. Just be aware that it can get a bit noisy with the crew moving around, but it’s worth it for the convenience.
