Whilst a virtual window is better than no window, I don't see any reason to choose a middle seat when the window seats are still available.

To answer my own question here for anyone checking this thread in the future, like the A380, even though bassinet positions on seat maps are only marked as the first (or second row), there are bassinet positions on all middle E and F seats, alongside the middle divider.

Thanks for the follow up, I came to this thread to ask this exact question. Out of interest, how is the bassinet attached?

Didn't end up using it, since my kiddo was over 8 months old. (And luckily, EK usually leaves some seats open in F, so I just took over one of the extra seats with a car seat.)

When I was doing this research, this video was one of the only datapoints I could find -- hope it gets you what you need re: how the bassinet is attached:

This is a very big thread and tried looking so apologize if this has been asked before but flying F old 777.

I have flown it plenty of times but never solo stuck in a middle seat. Do they allow to raise the partition for the entire flight or does it have to be down during takeoff/landing? I have only ever flown the middle seats with a companion. I seem to remember they do allow it to be raised.

Set a seat alert hopefully a window opens I do find the middle seats to feel more cramped and the storage compartment is definitely smaller (not sure if that is noted anywhere in this thread).

Partition can be raised the whole flight.

I think the ‘default’ position is that it is raised. The only times I have seen it dropped when boarding is when I traveled with mrs t on the same booking.
And yes, the storage is definitely smaller and I also find it a touch more cramped because of that (perfect example of a first world ‘problem’ / observation)

2K is often blocked. For UM use, I think. So call a day or two before the flight to be moved. Or otherwise ask at check in.
