I read on seatguru that Seats 34 A and K (and any in that row) have restricted legroom as there is no cut out.... does that mean that one cannot stretch your legs out like on BA's World traveller plus? (Virgin is like this, you cannot have your legs straight).
I am 6 foot tall and wanted to know if this is a good seat (apparantly on the A380 the bulkhead has ample leg room)
Programs: AA Gold (lost Plat),QF bottom of the barrel, 49k DL miles about to expire.

I was in 34G and I swear I had extra room due to the bulkhead not quit lining up with the width of the seat block. Maybe it was my imagination... but I'm 188cm and felt no lack of room.
I've not tried the bulkhead row myself, but the seats look exactly the same as all the other seats so I would be surprised if the legroom were "restricted" in any true sense.
But I won't willingly choose the bulkhead row because it's too close to the galley and there is a lot of light and noise spilling out. I'm leaning towards 37JK as my personal preference.

As a QF WP you can call Qantas and ask for a request be submitted for you to be preallocated these exit row seats - if the seating is available such requests are normally granted.

I might be missing something, but 38K would be good if it was an A380 - is this actually the case?

There's nobody to recline into you.
OTOH, you could get a baby in a bassinet if you're in the middle. I was recently in both 35F & 36J and got the impression that there was less legroom for the 34A/B & 34J/K seats than in the middle, but didn't actually try them out.
As for galley traffic, that seemed to be about the same for both aisles, although there is definitely more activity & noise on the starboard (JK) side of the galley itself.

I haven't yet sat on the port side of PE, but there's a lot of clattering and banging on the starboard side of the galley, so I can see how there could be "more activity and noise" even if the moving body count is the same on both sides.

Recently did PE on a 747 (34A, MEL-LHR) and an A380 (36A, LAX-SYD) and the leg room was more than enough for me (5'6"). The following picture shows the 34JK seats to give you an indication of the amount of leg room available, http://www.airliners.net/photo/Qanta...438/1335913/L/ . I don't think that there is more room than row 40, but it is certainly a lot more room than standard economy seats.
I can't comment on the amount of traffic in the aisles but I did notice that the food/drinks trolley had a tendency to bump into the arm rest of 34D.
I would definitely go for row 34 again if I travelled on a 747 PE.
