Seat options - 17E, 23D and 38D

Def row 38 (bulkhead) and choose an aisle seat if still available. Good luck!

The assumption is 17 is better/quieter as you only have business in front. 23 and 38 will attract more noise with people going in/out to use the restroom/prepare meals etc. Hopefully your little one will be able to sleep through the night otherwise the business folk may be in for a long night

Do aisle so you can walk around and soothe baby when needed

If you can afford it, get 38D AND E, make sure you have a pacifier or something your baby likes to suck on or eat, helps with the air pressure. Go with the flow as much as you can, baby might not keep their schedule on the flight so be flexible (i.e. when to eat and sleep).

Contd.. on this flight. I have 3 options for seats with bassinets, see below pictures from seat guru - 17E, 23D and 37D. Please help me out here.
PS - I need to book only 1 seat as my baby will be on my lap (mostly in her bassinet as the flight is during her bed time)

17e and 23D

37D and purchase 37E as well

Please get a seat for the baby. It is a life saver to be able to have the child sleep in the car seat in her own seat. The bassinet doesn’t work - they will ask you to take baby on lap every time there is turbulence and the side rails of the bassinet are too low for when baby is awake. We made the mistake (lap child) the first time we travelled (funnily with Emirates) and have always bought seats ever since.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
