Row 1 On KE 744 Regional?
Hi,
Has anyone here had any experience traveling in row one on KE's 744's medium haul, or in this First Class cabin in general?
I'll be traveling on flight 658 from BKK-ICN and have preselected seats 1A & 1B for my wife and myself. I love being right up in the nose of the old gal, but as it's essentially four abreast seating in First Class, I'm concerned about how close seats H & J will be from a privacy standpoint. I'm considering moving us to row 3 but am concerned about galley noise and lavatory foot traffic.
Can anyone comment with their experience with this cabin?
Thank You.

Thanks Stargold, right now First still looks wide open, although my flight isn't until Jan. 8th so I guess I'll need to keep an eye on the loads. Thanks for your response.

Keep in mind KE, like CX and TG (and some other carriers), have a certain knack for equipment swaps so you might find your 747 swapped out for a different equipment type before your date of departure. I have an ICN-BKK in three weeks that was just rescheduled (10 minute difference in departure time) from a 777 to 747. When I booked it was originally an A330 and was swapped to the 777.
Keep checking your itinerary to stay on top of it.
