good article. kind of surprised you didn’t include the Iberia Airlines honeymoon seats that are next to each other with a lower-able divider similar to many at the top of your list (just not quite as open). I also believe Aer Lingus is the same.

Hi Kyle,
We took into account many different factors, and it’s rather unfortunate that some airlines couldn’t make the cut. In our case, the soft product from Iberia tends to be lacking in some aspects. Thanks for reading!

Dear Stephen, Thanks so much for this helpful article. Many airlines these days don’t seem to realize that couples are also a major customer to consider as business class passengers, not those flying for actual commerce. It’s nice to have the extra comfort for a special time like honeymoons or vacations. As for myself, I am scared of flying and always feel more comfortable if I can see, talk to or hold my husband’s hand when taking off/landing. But some cabin configurations make this increasingly difficult. I have read comments from people who say that if people want to sit close together it’s strange, as they don’t always have to be near their spouse in daily life either. But hen, a flight, travel or holiday for us is the prefect time to chat and experience something together, as my partner loves flying. So thanks again for this insight.

Hi
for a couple on a boeing 777 with British Airways to Sydney, on a 1-2-1 configuration, would the single window seats be better than the middle?

Hi Lisa,
If you want to sit together, the E and F middle seats would be your best option.
