What are the best seats in Delta Delta One Suite on SEA-HND?

Best: Odd-numbered window seats (1A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 9A and right-side equivalents) are closer to the window and farther from the aisle for maximum privacy.

Row 25 may have limited recline near the economy partition. 48 seats across 6 rows in a 2-4-2 layout.
