GRU - CDG L'Espace Affaires - 772 OTC - seats question

We are flying GRU-CDG in Jan on AF455, which is a 772 and therefore OTC.
Rows 4 and 7 are taken. In the front mini-cabin, all that is left is middle seats in 5 and 6 (+5B, but as there are two of us, this is of limited use). In the second C cabin, Rows 8 to 11 are free (except 11 K/L). Anything to choose between these?

All the best seats are indeed taken. I would select seat 8.

Note that AF operates the NEV B747 (New Business Class) daily to GIG.

Most certianly. I did this trip return last month.

Select the front nose (mini-cabin) of the aircraft, all seats row 1, 2, 3 or 4 are excellent. The front nose has the following configuration:

Row 1: XX XX
Row 2: XX XX
Row 3: XX XX
Row 4: XX X XX (note here you have a stand-alone middle seat!)

Seat rows from 5 onwards on C have the configuration with middle seats:
XX XXX XX (7 seats each row).

In fact, the fron-nose mini-cabin NEV usually is fitted with First Class; but some routes are not served by First Class such as GIG, so they fit C class seats. On the front-nose mini-cabin you have a feeling of privacy and space! It is really nice and much better than the seats from 5 onwards.

If you have any other question about this flight/GIG let me know.
