3. 777. More space than 747
4. 747. Cramped. Take 4/6 seats out and replace with a mix of a380 space and 789 seat and it would be superb.
It's all F though so no real hardship.
A good summary. Haven't done the 789 yet, but would agree that 8 seats makes it the most exclusive and private cabin. I fully expect it to be #1 when I try it in August.
The 380 is unusual in that it doesn't feel that you are actually on board an aircraft. The food was great on both occasions I tried it and certainly well ahead of 747/777 standards, apparently because of much more modern ovens. There's a lot of space and the cabin feels airy.
777 - the aircraft the NF suite was originally designed for. It's fine.
747 - cramped, unless you're in Row 1, and then you can't see anyone else. The nose is still the nose though!
