No issues in 84 and 85 as far as I remember. Some people have reported that the exit rows sometimes have a cold draft from the doors but I haven't experienced it.

On a 747-400 today FRA-DEL and only can say that I find it really annoying that they still flying these. Economically they are all written off so they make money but having a great A380 aircraft sitting around while forcing their 5 star customers into an old 747 is a disgrace. The only good is double miles this time!

The LH seatmap displayed during OLCI does not show the door(s) etc.

Did you enter an Avianca (AV) frequent flyer number or did you use AV miles to book the ticket?

I'm currently booked on the upper deck for a TATL overnight in August and I have 1A and 1C booked for the return. I'm looking to get the nose and upper deck experience on this trip. Is the upper deck better for a night flight or day flight?

I have traveled many times bulkhead, upper deck on BA, and liked it. Is 81A on LH good? I blocked that for three 747 trips and hope nothing negative about them. First time 747 on LH as BA does not fly them anymore.

81A is okay, just to let you know the bathroom available/occupied sign is right above 81B, and some people find the green/red light on annoying.
