Air France Business Class Seat Selection (2-2-2 and 2-3-2)
I have a couple flights coming up in older Air France business configurations with which I have no experience.
First, I will be flying from Delhi to Paris on a 777 with a 2-3-2 configuration. Then, I will be flying from Paris to NYC in the upper deck of a 777 in a 2-2-2 configuration.
Normally I opt for a window seat in any 2-X-2 configuration, as I don't get up much and prefer not being disturbed by others who do. However, since these are both quite long flights, aisle access is more important to me.
If I were to take window seats on either of these flights, would my aisle access be restricted by my neighbor's recline? Would it be better to take aisle seats in the middle of the plane to avoid being crawled over or having to crawl over someone?
Finally, if anyone has insight into any particular rows to be avoided on either of these flights, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You're flying NEV4 seats on 777 and NEV3/4 seats on A380. If you have big legs you can "step over" your neighbor if they're sleeping. Otherwise you have to ask them. On A380, I'd take one of the middle seats.

on A380, if you want a window seat with no problem to access the aisle, take the bulkhead rows (60 or 65).
