Hi everyone

Currently have 71D booked on the A380 but also can choose 35K what would you all choose?

I am concerned about it being bumpy being at the rear and perhaps a little noisey and cold too

Look forward to your comments.

Cheers
 
If you select from the upper deck you may be at the mercy of config. changes - in which case you'd likely lose that 71D.

35K should be a better seat however.

How soon is the flight?

If in the next week or the second half of next year the config. is likely to stick.
 
Hi Sefty and thank you

I agree with that hadnt actually taken that inot account and as the flight is not untill December it may well be a risk and well 71D is a nice seat :D
 
As for the config changes, we had 3 in the week leading up to taking the flight back from LHR.

It played in our favour in the end.

As for the turbulence. It does wiggle a bit at the back, however it wasn't something that bothered me.
 
To revive an old thread, I'm seeking further counsel and opinions on this question of 71D vs 35J/K (flight in August/December QF1/2, both options available on both flights) on A380.
so:

comfort
storage
speed off the plane

Thanks
 
Had 32K last week on QF1 and loved it, quiet, great service and quick de planing given a full load sees only 100 pax ahead of you versus 175 if your in row 71 with a full load.

35K for me on QF2/10 next week for those very reasons. Hopefully no aircraft change.

Are they still holding Y pax back on the lower deck until J has cleared on the top deck?
 
sorry to bring back this thread, I'm on a SYD-HKG A380 soon, managed to score 32J, 32K is empty.
Out of 32J or K which would you choose and why?

p.s-35 is already taken.

Thanks!!

32K because of the side bin which also gives you a foot rest.
