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).
