I give it six months before they reconfigure those studio suites to the midsection of each cabin (ie rows 5 and 11). That's by far a quieter part of the Polaris cabin.
They can’t do that. The reason for the extra space is there is no seat ahead of them. Only bulkhead seats have that extra space.
on the 767 the rest seat is 1A. Personally I’ve never had an issue with noise in that seat except when the FA’s are doing the service, and even then it is minimal. The curtain doesn’t cut down noise that much. And before and after break, the galley is almost never “brightly lit”. Of course, during break the curtain does do a good job of blocking light, so maybe they turn the lights off right before break is over.
