Hi copenhagenBA
I was seated on 23K on one of my J flights on the EK A380 and I do agree you can see the creepy man staring at you at row 22. Also I found that you can hear the crew from the bar when they are giggling.
IF I was on a 14 hour trip from SYD to DXB I would choose something in the main J cabin which also gets served first!
