which is the best seat for J in A380?

Trying to reserve a seat for my sister. She will be traveling solo. Which would be a quiet seat with good air ventilation? All exit seat at Row 20 are reserved. Which of the 3 mini cabins from the upper deck would have less traffic?

I like the forward cabin (fairly small and no through traffic), but that one seems to fill up quickly.

I agree with Kiwi that the forward cabin is probably best. The rear cabin gets a lot of foot traffic for people headed to the bar.

Was trying to get bulkhead in the rear cabin window seat, but KE says won't be released til 24 hours ahead of time.

I've never tried a window J seat on the A380 (for that matter on any KE aircraft), and I'm wondering how difficult it is to climb over your neighbor in lie-flat mode.
I'm trying to select a seat for a family friend who is flying ICN-JFK on the A380 in J, and he loves window seats.
One thing that concerns me a bit is that he is in his 70s and is not the fittest person in the world, so depending on how much space there is, he might have a difficult time climbing over his neighbor.
Would he be OK in a window seat?

My Mom is 70 and in fairly good shape for her age, and it was necessary for me to wake up to allow her access to the aisle. It might be doable when there is some light but the cabin is dark most of the flight.

Safe to say that on the 380 and 777 in J if you want to avoid climbing over or being climbed over, choose a middle aisle seat?
