Seats near the main exit. Plus - this is what you can stretch your legs there. But there are also disadvantages. For example, you can not put things under the seat in front, because it is missing. In addition, they are inconvenient because the table for food is folded inside the armrests. In addition, this is the coldest place in the plane.

Seats in front of the row change point. Because of the shape of the fuselage, the rows of 4 seats alternate with rows of 3 and 2. Seats at the transition points are usually distinguished by the fact that there is not always where to stretch the legs or put the bag.

Seats in front of the doors to the exit. The seats near the exit have more legroom, but this is achieved by seating in front of the doors. They do not recline at all or recline quite a bit.
