I am flying Business on Delta 747 with my wife and 2 kids where would we be better off sitting, upstairs or downstairs?

The upstairs is a lot quieter in my experience

I'm doing Delta biz (JFK-TLV) this summer. I was disappointed to hear they don't rate very high on the biz class rankings. But the price (with the 50% Amex xfer bonus) was right and I value the fact that it's direct from JFK. Continental sounds great but there was no SaverPass availability and I'd rather not schlep to EWR (if I can't get a ride with a friend of family member then the big car service fair would have to factor in to the cost effectiveness).

I have no prior experience, but based on the little I've read about it I chose upstairs seats.

I was in tlv-JFK in a 747 delta flight, it wasn't bad. I'm sure continental is much better.

For some reason, the 2 times I went with delta; from TLV was very crowded and from JFK it was extremely empty, like 1 person for every 8 seats.

I flew on Co new lie flat from TLV-EWR. Check in was a real pain in TLV. The flight and seats were really a pleasure. Very comfortable! better than Austrian that I took going. (austrian I felt like i was falling off the seats) However, ELAL 777 isnt bad either.

on LX's planes which have the new Business and First Product, I have to say, flying in both First and Business to and from the States, that there is no equal in that market... plus great service

Where are the bassinets on the 744s?

damaxer91 · « **Reply #32 on:** July 04, 2011, 10:08:09 AM »

Row 1 A-K
Row 9 D,E,F,J,K
Row 10 A,B (The best seats)

Might be upstairs in the front as well but I am not 100% sure

world2see · « **Reply #33 on:** July 04, 2011, 11:38:16 AM »

rumor has it that upstairs seats 73a-b are the best seats on the plane,i'm trying to figure out if there's a bassinet there as well,seems like it is from seatguru

Why is 10 A,B The best seats?
If I am flying w/ 3 people and 1 infant wouldn't 9 D,E,F be the best option?

10 A&B is the best for 2 people and an infant (lots of legroom).... Sorry that I am not being specific to your case

So in my case do u think that it is worth it to split up.
We are 2 adults 1 child and 1 infant.
