I'd agree with the comments about 51D. I'd planned to take 50B but after reading the comments on here I changed my mind and I'm glad I did. The proximity to the loo and the curtain would have wound me up! One annoyance was that the seat broke - as did 51E and F. It went down to bed mode fine, but wouldn't move after that. Just as well I didn't want breakfast, but all three of us had to move for landing. A little frustrating on what was otherwise a good first A380 experience.
