First A380 Row 4
Quick question:
Compared to other seats in First on the A380, are 4A/K noticeably less peaceful due to their proximity to the galley and noise / light from there?
Thanks for any views on these seats.

Not really. I've sat in the buddy seat there and wasn't disturbed by, or even notice, noise from the galley. Once it is sleep time the crew try to keep noise levels down.

Sat in 4A on a day flight there was a little noise and light from the galley but not so much as to be bothersome. I thought 1A looked like it would suffer more because of traffic to the toilets.

Agree with Swanhunter - galley noise a little more, but less disturbing than 1A/1K front curtain.
A mattter of personal preference but can honestly say for me there (unlike B747 F) are no bad seats in A380 F. The semi-enclosed seats work very well. Might even actively choose row 4, depending on mood.

Have had 2A and found no noise, and last trip 1A out and back and was not inconvenienced with very little traffic to go to the bathroom. Very snug in my bed

I found 1K a bit too noisy for my liking when I flew to SIN last September - particularly at the beginning and end of the flight the crew seemed to spend a lot of time accessing the storage lockers under the stairs that are accessed via doors just next to 1K. Fantastic amount of space however.

I recently had a MIA in 4K on the A380. It was a day flight, so not able to comment on the levels of light however no noise from the galley at all.
