Welcome to vflyer
A's or K's doesn't matter which side to me though some may say differently , as long as your not in the middle as they are a bit shorter ,also you are mid cabin which most prefer

The seats selected are fine for a couple. The A333 UC cabin is quite 'close', so you will be able to easily lean over the divider to have a natter if you wish.

Personally I prefer the A side, but as Blacky says A and K rows are the ones to aim for giving a slightly wider shoulder space as opposed to their central block counterparts.

Hope you have a great flight 8D

You don't say where you are going but I forgot to get K on the return to the USA yesterday. I know it is a bit of a twist in the seat but I like looking at the coast if it is a clear day and you don't always get to see that in A. I have also heard there are better views if flying to Japan. Might be worth thinking of!

'Close', wow there's an understatement of UCDS claustrophobia Joey :-)

If the occasion ever arose, I could play footsie across what passes for an 'aisle' with my legs still crossed. And if the occasion ever does arise, I will be certain to report back, but don't hold your breath...

We are flying back from barbados so there is not much to view from a side when departing bgi. So fingers crossed .

Ha, I am clearly in a generous mood today RC 8D

I think my favourite UCDS experience has been when I was seated next to a charming woman whose socks came off as soon as she boarded.. feet up on the ottoman and I was treated to full view of her bare feet, bunions and all, through the 'opaque' divider - no wonder I spend so much time at the onboard bar :P

Stay forward by the window -4 and 5 K fine.
Above all avoid seat 9 (esp K), no window!
