Seats on 747 - 1AK or 3EF?
Hello all!
Just a quick question.. I booked SYD-BKK-MUC and will be travelling with my wife on our honeymoon and would like to know if it would be better to reserve 1A/K or 3E/F. I understand that 1A/K have more privacy because they are in the far front but they do have like 2 meters in between them, while 3E/F are next to each other separated (on the 747s with the suites) with a "wall".
Is it true that 1A/K have less space than 3E/F? Also the "wall" between 3E/F is it possible to come down? I didn't manage to see a picture of it..
Thanks!

the suites configuration has only ONE middle seat in row two but two middle seats in row 3
so 2E/F exists only on old configuration with single seats, not suites
the wall between the two middle seats 3E and F can be lowered as following Picture shows

the isle seats have a bit more space at the side then the ones in the middle, but seating area is the same

You are right, i wanted to say 3EF and not 2EF. I edited the topic.
This picture is what I wanted! It looks nicer to be closer to each other but then again you might have people walking by you on the aisles and trolleys etc.. I think I will go for 1AK.

if you would like to talk during flight, then 3EF are the seats to go for!
not much trafic in F, just a bit during meal service, but afterwards, it gets very quiet also in the 3. row...of course the most privacy you get in 1. row

1A/K by a mile.....its memorable to be seated at the very very front with 3 windows each and literally the whole row to yourselves!
both of the flights (TG476/472) are mostly daytime, you can dine together if you must and still enjoy being in your own little cocoon

There are more important things in life than sitting in F for a few hours.

In my opinion, 3EF are the best in F (747) for a couple. Anyway it's a very seclude, quiet cabin, and I never been bothered by toilet or galley (noise, circulation, ...).
But most of the time, those 2 seats are released very near the departure date (... I was told by TG, that they keep those seat for passenger with handicaped F passenger, "just in case" ??? !!!). But you can usually reserve those seats few days before departure, or at the check-in.
