Updated on THAI First A380
Just added my two cents on the thread on 380 C seat review.
Did a walk around of the top deck on TG601 today which was really empty - full of TIPs in F, front C had perhaps 10-15pax and rear mini C and rear Y seats were all empty.
Thought I'd give my advices on the seats to choose:
In F, I think row 1 is better since row 2 is close to the galley that the FAs tend to gather.
In C - under no circumstance should anyone choose the first row - A and K are close to said galley, middle aisle seat seemed to be deposited right into the aisle and looked more cramped.
I would advice row 18 onwards in C. And in this case of an empty flight, the rear mini C area was also quite nice and clubby feel.
Oh and 15A has one side bin of two locked out.
In Upper deck Y, AB and JK said BOTH seats have dreded IFE box and they wod be murder on a long haul - only viable seat I saw was C and whatever is on the other side, centre aisle. Row 17 for middle four abreast and Row 18 for AB/JK are all exit rows with masses of leg rooms - my personal choice here.
Happy flying!
