I usually carry a rucksack with a big hoodie in it which after getting airborne makes an ideal soft footrest and ideal for taking the weight off your legs.

25D you're not allowed anything on the floor throughout the flight as the crew bunks are underneath and there is an escape hatch at that seat. Still a great seat though and a very airy and open cabin but definitely more general noise I found and folks using the space as a 'passing place'.

As for 29C an excellent seat but if 29H is available take that than one of the emergency exits as passengers loiter/congregate there where the toilets are.

Less crew traffic on that side too (a tip from Can i help you a very experienced Cabin Services Director who is on here frequently sharing his knowledge ^) and that's what I seem to see in most cabins I have been in, seems a tendency for the A side to be used, YMMV)
Thank you Peter, you sound like you know your stuff.

I have changed to 80K on A380
and I have changed to 29H on 777. There is also the option for emergency exit seats at row 37. So I could go there, if you think 29H is better I will leave it as that looks good too.
The flights are in May so had no problems getting my choice of seats

Once again thanks for your help
