Also notable is that the seat length is only one inch more in F than in J on the aircraft.
Old and new F is far bigger than the J cabin and leg space far less cramped.
I'm astonished someone is disappointed not be travelling F on the A380. I've done that twice and both times disappointed. Seat is the old F from 2010 and is shabby, dirty and dusty. IFE is slow and barely works and I didn't find the service that good either. It reminded me of one of those old bus seats where, as a kid, oldies loved the old well-used bus seats over the ultra-modern buses that most people prefer!
There's also a good reason why there's often a lot of Avios F availability on the A380 to ORD, DFW and so on....
