Seat 36K on A380
My mum is QF SG (Gold) and flying Y.
On the upper deck, the only choice of window seat for her is 36K. Last row window seat.
Is this a problematic seat with the galley right behind?
On the main deck, the choices around rows 53 onwards are available eg 54A.
Would 54A be better than 36K?
She will be on an overnight flight QF 36 SIN to MEL.
Will eat in the QF or EK lounge and then just get a window seat, lean back and try to sleep for the entire flight.
Thanks for opinions.

Galley is not an issue - that's on the other side of the aircraft.

Thanks serfty. But I thought that the galley is right behind 36K?
There is the sole upper deck Y toilet on the other side.
I would imagine that the cabin crew would most likely push out all the food trolleys from the galley from the 36J side rather than at the toilet side?
Also is the window at 36K viewable from the seat itself or is that part of a blank wall?
I guess pax in the main deck around row 50s would probably be able to get off the aircraft faster than last seat of Y on upper deck.

The floor space to the rear of 36J&36F leads to the top of the spiral staircase, there is no lavatory space there. And the window of 36K can be used.

Ah - OK.Thanks again.
Back then in the old config when PE was right at the back, no Y, I vaguely remembered that "galley" area on the 36 FJ side as well as on the other side you highlighted were both utilized in meal preparations.
36K looks like it also has full recline but QF marks 36 DEF as last to be assigned?
Anyway my mum is now in 36K.
