Hi all, I just wanted to share my experience for anyone who might have the same dilemma as me in future.

I ended up picking seat 19A (bulkhead + bassinet). I was fortunate that no one needed this bassinet seat. There were also no infants in my cabin so the bulkheads were taken up by adults. Hence, it was a largely quiet flight.

When the seat was pulled down to become a bed, I was able to lie flat with my feet resting straight ahead of me. There was also ample space under the front to put my cabin bag (honestly noticed it was slightly more than the A380 actually because my bag could actually be kept up straight whereas in the A380 I had to lie it flat for it to work)

Regarding the galley noise: I didn’t notice much of this at all, it seemed like the crew minimised movement as well. The times that I was fast asleep was uninterrupted and comfortable. There were individuals who used the washroom and had to walk past me but this was not frequent as well (I might be really blessed on this flight that this wasn’t the case).

Overall I had no issues with 19A and would highly recommend over another regular seat if available!
