Preferred Business Class Seat

[Chuck]

What is the preferred business class seat on a 747? Upper Deck or
main? I usually like isle, but only window seats are available on the
upper deck, however isles are available on the main. The seats are not
sleeper seats. Any thoughts would be great.

I always prefer upper deck window - upper deck is smaller and quieter.
Also the window upper deck seats have the extra storage compartment
along the wall which acts as a side table or as a leg rest when
sleeping.

That's the smart road warriors' strategy!

Sure. But I challenge you to access Usenet through a Tungsten and a
tri-band phone! ;)
