QR on your phone is fine, but yes they do scan it. When they do, set your phone brightness to maximum.

I only care about front rows if I need to make a tight connecting flight, or if I fly to a country where I need to go through customs and it’s a typical tourist flight, say to Thailand where every person leaving the flight before me means +3 min longer waiting in the queue.

Middle seats are my least favorite. Can’t properly lean onto either side without feeling like you’re creeping up on someone. I usually book aisle seats so I don’t need to climb over someone on the way to the bathroom, but that’s less of an issue on shorter flights. Window seats are better if you’re planning to sleep.

Not quite sure what you mean though with physically check in to get a window seat. Whether I select it online or through the website generally makes no difference.
