Best 747 Affaires seats for couple?
My wife and I are flying MIA-CDG in J next May, and it appears that the aircraft has been swapped from a 773 to a 744. We are right now in 2K and 2L for the outbound and 2A and 2B on the return. Are there any better seats for a couple? I like the idea of having no one in front of us, but the cabin layouts on AirFrance.us make the four seats in row 1 look very close together. Since I've never been on-board the 744, I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
Thanks!
Thanks!

You should be very happy of this change of aircraft because you'll have the chance to fly in the nose of the 744 and this is the best place to fly J in this plane. And now, all AF 744 ave been refurbished which will make the experience better.
Note that row 2 is not the 1st row (it is indeed row 1 that has nothing in front). Personnaly, I'm not a big fan of row 1 because you have the closet in front of you and you lack the space feeling that you have from rows 2 to 4. My favorites rows are 2 or 3. Enjoy

I have a different question about seating on the 747 - my wife and I are flying DL next April on a 747-400 in business class. I'm assuming when you're talking about flying "in the nose", you're referring to the upper-deck. We've chosen lower-deck seats (9D & F - adjacent center seats with an aisle in front of us) as we don't check luggage when we travel. Even though our bags are relatively small (22" rollers), I imagine it must be a problem going to the upper deck using the circular stairs with luggage.
Do you know if there are any provisions for getting luggage to the upper deck other than, well, "lugging" it?
