So I'm scheduled to fly CDG-SFO on the A380 next week, and the plane is completely empty as of now. I can choose wherever to sit, and right now I've allocated 88B for myself. I'd prefer the window, but I get up a lot to use the restroom / walk around ... is it easy to walk over the aisle passenger from the window in row 88? I'm a young, nimble person if that factors into it.
Also, does anyone know if these flights are full in Economy lately? I've been flying to SFO from CDG quite frequently lately with UA, and the flight loads have been extremely light. I ask because I'd prefer to have a row to myself downstairs than a seat upstairs next to someone...

AF now charges seat selection for non-status passengers, this is why you might find the seat map empty, and although I have not flown AF longhaul in the last 2 months or so, I consistently find AF flights full in Economy around this time of the year (low winter/spring fares from the US).

It's easy to walk over the aisle passenger from the window in row 88, the bulkhead space is substantial.

I know usually the flights are full, but I flew CDG-SFO last month on UA (fare was $600 but I used miles for J) and the entire back economy section probably had 10 total people in it. It was actually a bit scary how empty the plane was. I've read that tourism from France to the US is dropping (Trump effect) and many Americans aren't coming to France because of fears of security (ridiculous). Regardless, I'll report back about the flight load in Y. Thanks!
