The vast number of economy seats on the A380 are split across the rear of the upper deck and most of the main deck. Upstairs is configured 2-4-2 (A,B - D,E,F,G - K,L),  but downstairs is mainly 3-4-3 (A,B,C - D,E,F,G - J,K,L), so, with a few exceptions, head upstairs if you can.

Upstairs (rows 80-94), row 80 is a bassinet row, but the outer pairs of seats in row 81 (A,B and K,L), face the exit and offer extra legroom, however, these are sold at a premium under the Seat Plus brand up to 30 hours before departure. Row 90 and seats 91 A,B,K and L also provide an exit seat option if you pay extra.

Downstairs (rows 10-52), the two pairs of seats comprising row 10 are by an exit and are Seat Plus seats, but note that they are also by the stand-up snack bar. Just behind them, seats 11A and L will give unlimited legroom and may be quieter. Curiously, these are not offered as Seat Plus.

Further back, seat 15G has a bulkhead holding a bassinet. Note that all of rows 10-16 will be affected by the proximity of the washrooms.

The next option for a Seat Plus exit seat comes in row 30, but note that the middle section is a bassinet row. The sharp-eyed will notice an anomaly on the A380, the missing seat where 33D should be. This is because there is an escape hatch in the floor, so picking 34D will guarantee you good legroom in an aisle seat, but again, this is Seat Plus.

Going even further back, row 45 faces an exit, but note that seats A,D,G and L are labeled as bassinet seats. Note also that the space in front of this row houses two stand-up snack bars, so this area may get very busy.
