When we flew Business class on Air NZ 747's we were sat in the pointy end and not only were the flatbeds 'one piece' with no stools to flap down (don't try and sit on them as they will collapse underneath you) but there were only 4 seats abreast if I recall correctly. Each pair were across the aisle and were pointed slightly towards one another. I could join Mrs yt for meals at her table. No clambering over other passengers stools, and there were no rear facing seats that I could see, but, I didn't go to the upper deck (?).
Of course I realise Air NZ don't fly 747's any more.
