Best Seats QF127/8 on 747 in J

[mikejr]

Hi Guys,

Only ever flown the 380 to HKG - so looking for seating tips on the 747 please.

I have J Class for my wife and myself (v tall) and looking for the best 'pair' of seats in J

It is fairly open at the moment so would upstairs row 14 (exit) maybe a good pick - quiet cabin?

Or perhaps up front row 2 or row 6?

Any comments and suggestions would be really appreciated

Thanks
Mike

Upstairs exit row, I think.

Depends on when you are flying as they currently use a 4 class 744 with Rows 1-4 being sold as F

And if you are a little older and arthritic you lose your preference for upstairs.We are all different.

3E/F are great pair seats in either configuration.

Thanks for the replies guys - not that old yet!

It is the 3 class config with row 14 upstairs as exit and row 5 downstairs as exit - if that makes any difference ???

I'm interested to know as well since all my forward bookings to/from HKG have been changed to 747. Does the exit rows attract additional fees as WP? Thanks in advance.

No fees for seat selection in J. As a WP you should have access to virtually all J seats.

Many thanks Hvr. I've always wondered as when I tried to select the exit row seat, it's indicated as being requested, making me think it's like an upgrade request.

That's because they have to confirm you're OK to sit there.

Even more reason for 3E/F - you get personal storage bins at your feet.
