Jetbridge to the upper deck is a unique feature of the A380 (and quite necessary, given the number of passengers on the UD). AFAIK the doors on the upper deck of all 747s are designed for emergency exit only.
In practice, the stairs from upper deck lands on the main deck near the door, and upper deck passengers deplane at the same time as the main deck J passengers (rather than having to wait until after).

1 A/J narrower?
Travelling with wife SFO-ICN next year, looking forward to the 747-8i but from the few pictures available it looks to me like the first row in F have narrower seats?
The trip report from earlier this thread shows seats in row 2 with a closet next to the seat and the sliding doors on the other side of the closet, but it seems that row one does not have such a closet, just the sliding door which maybe makes the seat narrower?(Maybe the two closets in the nose are for row 1?)
We have enjoyed CX F, OZ F and even UA F in row one of the 747, but now wondering if maybe row 2 is better for KE in terms of space.
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks

Hopefully someone else responds before your trip. But could you also let me know your recommendations on your question once you've traveled. Thanks.

The closets in the nose are indeed for row 1. There are no overhead bins. Rows 2 & 3 have a closet in the suite that is large enough for a decent size rollaboard and to hang jacket or clothes (but perhaps not both unless your carry-on is small).

Does this influence your view on what the best Suite(s) is/are?

A high grade problem to have, for sure.

Conversely I think the wall of the cabin is further from where you sit in row 1 than in rows 2 & 3. Given there is already considerable space on that side (for the table and shelf), I suspect row 1 suite feels smaller than rows 2 & 3.
