Not the OP, but I think they mean the first time they flew internationally, it was in a 747?

No, I'm pretty sure they mean international first class, especially since they also mention 'it's surprisingly quiet in the top front', which is where first class is.

that was my thought until:

“Only negative is that it is all so over the top - wife and I more comfortable in biz or e+”

Right, they meant that the trappings of first class are so over the top that it makes them uncomfortable.

Odd thing is I thought the 747 was usually configured with biz class upstairs (I got a biz upgrade on a SIN->DPS flight many years ago and flew upstairs) and first class in the front of the main level, so maybe they weren't talking about first class. Or perhaps some airlines have/had 747s with first upstairs.

100% my error - main deck for sure. We also boarded using wrong jetway - I guess there was a first entrance somewhere maybe that was different?

The reference to angled windows with forward view puts them at the lower deck, I think.
