A380 F with infant
 

Tried Googling this but haven't been able to find a definitive answer.

Need to do an LAX-LHR shortly with wife and daughter who will be 2 months at that time, so we'll need a basinet cot. Ideally we want to be on the A380.

I read somewhere the only basinet position in A380 F is at 4F, is that correct? If so, I assume we're good to go as long as we can snag 4EF?

If anyone has done both A380 F and 747 UD with an infant, I would be interested to know what was better: usually I'll default to F when traveling with family, but 64A is a lot more private which obviously is useful too.

Thanks in advance.

I may be wrong but I thought that 64A on the 747UD is not a bassinet.location

I'm pretty sure there's a fold-down bassinet table there but I don't think it gets blocked as a bassinet seat like others do

There is still a bassinet table at 64A.

I didn't think the 747 operated the LAX route.... I thought it was the A380 only?

Travelling with an infant you should be able to book a seat as soon as you have bought a ticket - from my experience every time we flew with our son it also automatically assigns you a bassinet/bulkhead position (although we have not flown on A380 or on anything higher than wtp on l/h). Normally bassinet/bulkhead seats are illustrated on the seat map when choosing seats as well....

Hmm, you're right, seems it is now A380 only.

CIHY, do you know if 4F on the A380 also has one?

remind us what date and exact flight theres going to be a baby in F ?

lol, my thought too, I need my sleep.

4F is the Bassinet position on A380 F. No 747's work the route. Travelling with an infant, you'll not need to snag the seat, you'll be given it. Consider 4K as the "dad" seat. The aisle gives a little extra space, oddly. And some space for you when your wife is....well, when you are not needed.

You're not by chance flying this Thursday at 9pm are you? :D If so I hope the baby is sweet! haha

Hahah thank you!!

Last question: does the A380 only take the bassinet 'seat' or does it allow the cot as well? Know I am getting a bit specific here :)

Both. I think every cabin is set up for both.

Cant see the problem with a baby in F.

Think i would rather a family with a baby than some of the overweight snoring execs you often get, who somehow manage to smell worse than a dirty nappy after only a few hours into a long haul flight.

Have a good and safe flight OP. ^:D
