Any opinions on the best seats in business class on SAA A340-600?

There are 6 rows. Seating is 2-2-2.
Dont take row 1, it's too close to the toilets. Dont take row 7, its too close to the galley. There are 4 FA's serving C class, they divide the cabin up into 'quadrants', and there is a small potential problem in row 4: when I flew LHR / CPT a few weeks ago, row 4A/C did not seem to 'belong' to either the left front or the left rear FA, so we had to ask to be served dinner which was unusual, the SA C service is usually good (on the CPT/LHR leg - in row 5 - it was excellent).
So if I choose, it is row 2,3,5,6 then 4, then 7, then 1.

If you travel alone, or if you don't care for a window seat, take one of the middle seats (D or G). Will make it much easier to get out.

1C and 1H are the worst seats as people will bump into you when returning from the lavatories.

Most people will use the front lavs, so being in the back of the cabin will have less people walking past you.

I made a more detailed post a little while ago. Search for it.

Row 5 is the best.. On SAA, there are two set of crew serving J in each aisle. The first set start at row1-4 and the second at row 5-7.. Row 5 is great because you get served first and far away from the galley or washroom

Wow, that IS pretty stupid of me! :eek: But in my defense: at least I did mention row 7.
