It looks like if we chose the middle seats (DG), we could not have eye contact while sitting back in our seats. If we chose back-to-back A or K seats, it looks as if conversation might be easier if the window-side person just leaned forward a bit and looked backwards to the "adjacent" seat (which is really the next seat back). I am not sure what plane has "C" seats?

Again, many thanks for your insights.
