I flew in WTP on the 380 last weekend, so my memory is fairly fresh...

I noticed when I went to use the loo that the person at 70A didn't seem to have any problem stretching their leg. The slide pack only protrudes slightly at the A380 upper-deck doors, when compared to the 777 or 747 main deck.

3./ Between 70A/K & 80A/K, i tend to choose row 70 as the toilets are at the back of this cabin. And quicker to leave the aircraft too. The only thing that would make me consider row 80 is the very small cabin. It is more quiet than the front one?
70A/K do see toilet traffic, as the toilets immediately in front of the exit door are on the Economy side of the WT/WTP curtain. Passengers from WTP will come through the curtain and wait for the toilet right in front of you regardless.

The BA config on the A380 seems pretty horrible down the back. No cross-over corridors and lots of toilets opening onto seats. Sad times.
