Best Upper Seats in A340-600 for a couple

Hi All

I’ve finally booked our reward seat flight to Miami in Upper Class, we upgraded from Economy using our points. I have put my husband and I into seats 11 & 12K going and 11 & 12A coming back, is this the best position for a couple on a A340-600 or would it be better to be opposite to one another?

If you're in 11 and 12K you will be facing the wall and will have a lot of privacy but 11 and 12A you will have people facing you.

Personally I think you are better off having one on front of the other rather than opposite one another

Isn't it the other way round? The low number K seats face the wall, while the higher number A seats do also (and the higher K and lower A face another seat) We sat in 10/11A both to and from MIA last year and they faced a wall and were perfect.

I do agree with HL and suggest you change the leg which have seats facing another seat to one facing the wall for more privacy.

11A and 12A face the wall.

11K and 12K face other passengers.

I would also like to know what people think is the best place to sit on an a346 for a couple. Facing wall or facing other seats?
What about an a343?

Would much rather be in the a zone of a 744 though...

Best place on the A346 is facing the wall so either 2-7K or 8-17A.

The best place on the A343 is the K seats as they all face the wall.

You are of course, quite right. The moral of the story is never reply to a post while watching an All-Ireland Football Final when your county is playing and they have just gone into the lead!

3 and 4K or 4 and 5K for me.

Is 7K quite private or is the curtain usually open and lots of people can see you?

The curtains at row 7 are always open unless it is a flight with Snoozezone (VS46, 10, 12, 22, 2 and 400).

Thanks. Got 11A booked both ways at the moment, can't make my mind up!

Another vote for facing the wall (whichever seats those are :w ) and sitting one in front of the other. If you're sitting opposite your travelling companion you have to communicate across a distance of the height of two adults plus the aisle. The only time I'd choose opposite would be the front two seats in a 747 and then only because it mitigates the risk of playing footsie with a complete stranger...

we did LHR-DXB a few weeks ago in 10/11K which had people facing us. In 9K was a woman with her partner in the seat opposite. I felt we had the better seats. The middle seats are fairly far away, but I did get the feeling that facing the wall (eg. being in 10/11A) might be a little claustrophobic when sitting down.

I think I will change to 11 & 12A, we are the only ones in the cabin at the moment so could pick any seat we liked.

Hi

I'm flying LHR-LAX-LHR in March and it will be my first time in Upper. I am travelling alone. Can someone please advise me where the best place to sit is on a 340-600.

Many thanks.
