Well, I was travelling together with the HOTTEST for me, which is still my WIFE even after 28 years together. @:-) ^

Actually after boarding and before t/o Maria Sharapova was sitting there with at least 3 blankets and you could only see her nose, eyes and some part of the hairs. I only did recognize later who it was.

I know most people here would say the new 744 F is the best product out there right now, but I am really excited to fly on the 748 with my fiance on our honeymoon. the whole bed & seat deal is nice on the 744, but Im more of the type that like to sit back, watch a movie and dose off instead of actually crawling into bed on my flights.

So, I am picking the 748 over the 744 next week. I am assuming that 1A/1K are the best seats for a couple?

I know the cabin is said to be a bit cramped, especially when compared to the A380.

thanks for your input!

Pick 1AK and if not available 2AK.
In row 3 and 4 the seats are very close together, row 3 even has a smaller footrest.

+1 except that there is no row 4.

If you and your spouse want to be "close" to each other, pick 3D/G, as these are the only seats together.
Sure 3A or 3K are nearby, but at least you are really together for a honeymoon trip. If you pick 1A/1K, you have the door where FA store bedlinen, duvet and so on, inbetween the two of you.

I also find that row 1 is very close to the wall. If you like to relax, the back seats give a much wider perspective of the cabin.

I cant fly without being next to the window... plus, I feel 1A/1K will have us close enough to each other and we both get a window.

I agree on being close to the wall... and it will likely annoy me, but it will be cool to be in 1A/1K together angles towards each other.

thanks everyone!

LAX/HKG

Just flew LAX-FRA on 747-8, requesting a bassinet for my 10 month old. My mom and I were in 10 H-K (There is no bassinet in 10 D-G). While the lie-flat seat is nice the position of the bassinet is in a rather awkward position, with it being high up above the monitor consoles. It is so high that I almost had to lift my baby above my head (I am 5'8") to put her into the bassinet. There is not much room between the bassinet and the overhead storage compartment. So in order to avoid bumping my baby's head I had to be very, very careful when I put her in there.

Also, 10 H's seat is slanted in such a way that there really isn't much room at the foot when compared to the other seats. My mom is not tall so it wasn't a big problem. But I imagine it can be very tight for someone who is taller.

Taking a 747-8i V2 LAX- FRT

Got first row coach bulkhead 16 AB. Seat guru says these have less than normal legroom and the center first row 18 DEFG have more than normal. LH says they are all the same. Should we switch to center?

On the upper deck, two questions regarding row 84:

1. Do 84A and/or 84K have a full set of windows?

2. Also, it looks as if 84AC and 84HK are offset in the cabin - does one side offer an advantage or benefit?

geo1005

I will add my own comments on the above now that I have returned.

84AC and 84 HK are offset. Both sides are great and I'd take either on the upper deck as first choice. That said, as the rows on the upper deck are offset, 84 HK have three windows while 84AC have only two. 84H & 84K would be first choice IMO!

So if you are a solo traveler, there is no question that 2A/K are the best in F cabin. I enjoyed it a lot while other flight I was in 1A and heard some noise from 1K when he woke up before me

I called to request a bassinet today and was offered either 4A&C or 10A&C. I selected row 4 to be away from galley and the stairs.

Have not seen any discussion about any distinction between these two rows or distinction between the full J cabin and the mini J cabin.

Any comments?

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone comment on the legroom in row 16 (economy bulkhead on the 8/80/298 748i variant)?

The LH seatmap shows extra legroom across the entire row - but SeatGuru indicates that 16ABCHJK may have restricted legroom while the center seats 16DEFG have extra legroom.

Any thoughts on the difference between the mini J cabin (Rows 10-11) and the main J cabin (Rows 4-9) on the main deck of the v2 layout?

I just got off an overnight flight in 84K and would recommend against sitting there (or in row 84 altogether). The magazine racks are located in the bulkhead directly in front of the seats (i.e. where your feet go). On multiple occasions while I was sleeping, people came up and opened the magazine racks, which was quite loud and proved to be quite jarring. I don't think there was any more room in this row than in others. I would suggest something farther forward (anything farther back will be closer to the galley). Just my two cents.
