I just did CDG-DXB in business on the 380 and even that was very, very good. I had FC until inside 24 hours and the someone must have re-read the section that Busboy posted and caught the error. Psych!

If you can't swing FC, BC easily exceeds anything available in any class on a US carrier. I would recommend a seat in the smaller aft section of BC just forward of the bar. Window bulkhead (first row) is very private. The bar section is very cool and chances are you'll meet some interesting folks. The 18 yo single malt they have isn't bad either.
