Am I right in thinking that 9K on the 330's are sort of behind the bar? Trying to figure out the best seat to go for. Obviously might be loud on a day flight?

Yes it is sort of behind the bar, although not particularly exposed to it (compare 9A!) -- but I think it doesn't have a window and it is a loud place to be. Not recommended.

Thanks. The seat map is fairly open for the flight - currently have 4A down but was wondering if there was a better option!

4A is MILES better than 9K -- one of the better seats in the cabin, in fact, in my view.

Ditto. 9K has no window and the wall behind is the bar bottle rack. Not a good seat.

Looks like 4A it is!

ugh... such a quandary, I'm booked into 8&9a in a few weeks as I'm sure somebody recommended it... is that really going to be terrible?! who's ideas was this bloody UCDS anyway...!!

At the end of the day, you will still be flying in Upper Class and you'll have a great flight

9(&8)A/K are often recommended on the LHR 747 fleet

I personally would not knock that seat or any of the "9's" that much.
If I want a very quick exit off the aircraft then 9A is normally my pick. If very often get me to the front of the line in immigration at certain airport.
Of course, if you are there for the experience, then granted, not the best seats for a view or silence.

On a 330 then it's always a K or A seat as they are 5 inches longer. But 6,7 and 8 are our faves.
