I was in 46G the other day and I saw someone use the life raft cowlings to put their feet up.

I guess that's not comfy unless the body length is correct.

I tried that once and the crew politely told me to move my feet immediately.

Post a380 in Economy

Using our FF points for flights to LHR but currently trying to work out the best place in cattle class ECY for a family of four 2 Adults, 9 month and 3 year old on the a380. Is it true the Arm Rests only rise 3/4?

Any advice much is much appreciated.

Its sold as a 2-class flight, so is usually operated by a 2-class aircraft.

Airbus A380-800 / 4-Class / First Suite / 5A

Specific Pros:
  • Most "private" suite - not easily seen by pax in other suites (in fact, almost impossible unless they stand up; the people in 5F and 4F have some chance if they lean over a lot and don't put up the privacy screen).
  • Farthest away from the bathrooms, i.e. minimises propensity of someone other than crew needing to pass by your suite.

Specific Cons:
  • Not ideal seat if considering seating a couple close to each other: the F and K seats are a better bet.
  • Closest to the galley and the unwashed masses in tow
  • One of the last to be served meals, which is further compounded if you get the degustation.

General Con of 388 F:
  • Little leg room when seat is in original forward position (cf. in-flight angled position), so if you are tall you may feel a bit crunched up during take-off and landing. (Think row 1, i.e. bulkhead, of domestic J).

Note the "A" seats in A380 F are more private than the "K" seats.

A380 Premium Economy

Sat in 34A SIN-SYD. Row 34 would be the best after maybe row 38. They have a bit more legroom. One disadvantage is there is no overhead bin above 34DEF so space could be hard to find for latecomers.
