So far considering seats on rows 51/52 for A380 and maybe rows 20 or any on the UD on the 747. Are these good preliminary choices?
OK, so CW both ways.
On the A380 53A or K are great seats in my view as you won't have to step over anyone and can walk out of your seat out round the back of 53B/J into the aisle.
Although they are near to the galley I have never found the noise to be an issue but others have the opposite view! Personally, I'd always have these as my first choice or 59 A/K as they also have the same characteristics.
59K
Being honest any window seat in CW on the A380 is fine as once the divider is up (which you can do straight after the safety briefing) you are in your own little cocoon.
On the 747 I'd def go for the upper deck. Seat 64K is very private and again you have no one stepping over you. 64A as well but that is now back as a bassinet seat it would appear so may open nearer the time.
62 A and K are also great seats.
Hopefully these may also help.
