Row 64 have an extra window but at your feet so not hugely useful. My ranking would be
62K > 64K > 62A > 64A
64A is my least favourite as there is light pollution from the galley and a little bit of disturbance from lavatory traffic.

Which seat do people love more 62AK or 64AK?
I am facing this dilemma for my JFK-LHR later this year! At the moment I have moved from 64A to 62A to get away from being in close proximity of the lav. Just read a TR that suggests 64K is private compared to any seat.
Can anyone comment on the alignment of the windows?

That's assuming it doesn't get swapped for a 777 by the time you fly (as seems to happens to me all the time)!
angeloedades, along with the very valid reasons to prefer 64K put forward by KARFA above, another thing to take into consideration when pondering between 62K and 64K is the view. Would you rather be in 62K looking at this:
or in 64K looking at this?

My fully filled Tumi arrive doesn't fit in the UD overhead bins but as Crampedin13A states, there is a closet at the top of the stairs that fits a fgood number of bags. It's never been a problem. for me 64 is the best row, first off and easy to walk about the little area at the top of the stairs

Also I believe the issue of too-small overhead bins on UD is more A380-related than 744. I have always found them more than adequate on 744 but they are very small on the front seats of the A380 (I think that is row 50), but in exchange the loo is quite spacious!

At the top of the stairs immediately to the right is the coat locker. I usually put my bag in there and then you don't have to mess with the overhead bins. My laptop bag fits into the bins along the window.

As 64K is not available and 64A may or may not be a cot seat, I have taken 63K. 62's are not available.
This may be my only chance to fly this aircraft and I don't want to take a chance that 64A is a cot seat and I am asked to move.
So 63K for now ........ until I over-think this more and change again!
