Which UC seats?

So, I have now invested in 2 UC return tickets MAN-MCO for DH and I. But, the next question is which seats/suites should we choose?

The cabin is totally empty bar us currently, so we picked 6A & 6K, but, would we be better in 6A and 7A? Although we don't necessarily want to talk the whole flight through, it would be nice to be able to see each other, and maybe even touch!

Advice please, oh gurus?

If you take a look here http://www.v-flyer.com/seatmaps.asp you can take a look at what people think of each seat.

6A&K are very close to each other and are a favourite for families travelling together. You would be able to see and chat to your partner very easily. If you choose 6A and 7A, the person in 6A runs the risk of having a complete stranger eyeballing him/her throughout the flight

No means a Guru as I have only done 5 UC flights with Virgin (MAN/MCO) but have always had 6A&K. Would always pick these if available but on my recent return there were a couple of empty seats which I had a sit in and would still be happy if 6A&K not available. Agree that I would not like to sit in 6 without my partner opposite as they are close!

Another vote for 6A&K for travelling as a couple. You can talk easily, see each other and as already mentioned, you don't have the problem of a stranger being too close in the other 6 seat.

Another good thing about 6A&K is the little shelf at the front of the suite, which is handy for putting thing on when you convert to a bed and just generally giving you a bit more space.

The only downside, is that you are right in the noise of the a/c, so any turbulence is felt, but with the small UC cabin anyway, I think this would be the same in most seats.

I would go for 6A-K for a couple, close enough to talk and see each other through out the flight.

The only downside of 6A/K & 7A/K is that there is no overhead locker for these seats - the lockers don't start until row 8.

That said, I normally travel in row 8 or 9 - when in row 8 I've generally had other bags in the locker from people in row 6 or 7. In row 9, I've normally had the locker to myself. I have yet to see a shortage of overhead locker space in UC.

On my last flight, the last two pax to board were a family of 3 occupying 6A/K (one of the 3 was a baby). They had 4 carry-ons between them and the crew found space for all of them no probs (think most went in the wardrobes at the back).
