LOT Polish Airlines 737-800

No. Business on this aircraft is the front zone of a single economy cabin: the same seat with the middle left empty and the catering upgraded. There is no wider chair or extra recline up front, so weigh the fare against those perks alone.

At the over-wing exits, and in the marked row just behind them. The exit rows themselves give up recline for the space; the row after banks similar stretch with the recline intact, which makes it the quiet winner of the cabin.

The last rows, which sit within earshot of the rear galley and the lavatory queue and leave the aircraft after everyone else. The first row also loses under-seat stowage to the bulkhead, a real cost on a flight where you want a bag at your feet.
