No issues for me on 11A. Linens did not bother me one bit. Did not notice excessive traffic.
I liked the extra foot room in 11A. I know there is additional foot room at 11K as well.
Anyone know if there is extra foot room for 11D?
Mrs. 110pgl and I are in row 11D/11G.

just back from an AKL HKG JFK HKG AKL business class trip on CX.
AKL HKG AKL segments were on A340s. Nice but somewhat narrow seats. They face the aisle rather than the window (like NZ's J class product), but aren't as wide or as comfy. IFE screen is too far from a person in a reclined seating position. All meals were excellent. I was in 16A or 16K on these segments. Seat controls were a bit clunky.
HKG JFK HKG was on the 777. MUCH nicer experience. These are such well thought out pods. 2 windows to gaze out, lots of need little storage spaces, and great, simple seat controls. I was in 12A and 12K on these segments and loved the intimate feel. No issues with noise from the 'loos or galley.
Meals were all of a high standard and I love being able to get a decent espresso in-flight.
Slept well when I wanted to sleep; got work done when I needed to. Crew were attentive and pleasant. Only regret was not trying one of the famous burgers.

I much prefer 11D/G because of the larger footwell.

77H (version with first class):
"11A 11K: these seats are at the very front of business class, for extra quietness, right behind the hushed environs of the first class cabin.
11D 11G: if you're travelling with a colleague (and you want to talk during the flight), you'll want a centre pair. These are among our favourites for being able to carry out a decent conversation in the air. You'll be among the first off the plane too, no matter whether the airbridge hooks up to the first or second doors of the plane."
I really thought this was unquestionable until I saw the discussions above.
"Row 12: right in front of all the business class lavatories, these are seats to avoid."
I don't actually agree w AusBT's recommendation on the 77G and seat people in row 15 like 33G instead.

Either way, the whole mini-cabin is quite pleasant. But if we're going to get really technical...I definitely disagree with their analysis.

The soiled linen bin issue seems to be getting better. Within the last month, Wifey (in 11D..I usually take G & she prefers D) mentioned it to the ISM/Purser during the preflight greeting twice and was interjected with a 'Oh I know, have already told the team' just as my wife spoke 'you know the linen bin, could you..' once, and a 'yeah it can be a problem, will ensure there's no disturbance' the other time. She wasn't disturbed by it even once.
