You could always get a new wife, one that doesn't complain about too much "action".

I'm only just talking about an airplane seat here!

Like I said, she feels that way so perhaps another woman may feel the same. Who knows.
I don't mind, she does - so we don't sit there.

Come on, give me a break here - I'm just giving an opinion, which is what the poster is asking for! Isn't that why we all post on here?
My thoughts are a load of rubbish?

My preference is always 83AC, then 83 HK. The only row i dislike is 84, there is too much noise from the galley.
One of the disadvantages of 83: it is more popular, so you are more likely to end up with a seat neighbor than in the other rows.

Actually when I was sitting once in 83A an unexpected and heavy turbulence pushed almost all of the bottles from the cart. Luckily nobody got injured, but the women in 83H got flooded by a mixture of reds and whites possible with some shots of champagne. She was not amused. Since then 83H would be my last choice.

To the OP: When travelling with my wife I almost always decide for row 82. No problem to go out from the window seat IMHO. As a single traveller I usually vote for 83A however.

Well, sometimes upgrades only clear very late. Then I happily take any of the remaining free seats.

Thanks everyone. We took 83A and C for now. One question, can you put things on the floor or under the seats in front? If the floor has to stay clear and the seat in front is too far away to use, we might switch back. We tend to keep lots of junk with us and the overhead space is said to be limited.

nope!

but even if you swith to a different row, there is no storage on the seat in front, its just a plane little "wall"...

there is space behind the seat though as long as its not fully reclined, that where i usually keep my stuff until i go to sleep...

Not in front, but you can use the area behind your seat between the seat and the mini-wall in front of row 84... although not when you want to lie flat.
But, the seat itself has a variety of storage compartments.

LH 747 seating

I'm flying on LH for the first time in biz and am wondering if my seat is too close to the galley or should I choose one all the way in the back of the cabin instead? My seat is 12H and there is not another aisle seat farther forward but I could go to the back-will that be quieter? Thanks.

No , your thoughts are spot on. 83 HK are the worst seats .

Thre is a big storage area next to the stairs (just to the right when you walk up). This is where all the bigger pieces go. It is mall and long - running alongside with the stairs.Difficult to access during the flight.
Regular size wheeled carry ons don't fit in the overhead bins. Even big laptop bags are too big. The space below the seat in front of you is actually a fairly narrow drawer, manily used for blankets.
There is a fairly large space in the armrest (big enough for a few books and a laptop - bigger for the aisle seats).

As long as you don't need access during the flight there is enough space in the back for anything you can potentially carry upstairs.
And if you plan to access it during the flight just tell the crew and they will put it in last.
