If this is still an issue on some planes, is there any way to divine which one you get, or is it a complete crapshoot?
Spouse has serious motion sickness issues (she really can not stand sitting facing backwards in anything that moves, she gets sick), and me, I'm a light sleeper so looking to avoid the nighttime shakes. We are in business class and most seats show unassigned at this point. I grabbed 1L and 2L when I booked, figuring I cold swap for a better seat if needed (we prefer window seats rather than the center "honeymoon" pair), but seats that don't make her hurl or wake me up are top priority.
Thanks for insights.
nwflyboy,
I have marked up those seats not mechanically coupled to a neighbouring seat onto the seat map below. These are shown as circled seat numbers, so as you can see seats 1A, 1D, 1H, 7A, 7L, 10A, and 10L are not conjoined and reported to be less susceptible to "rocking" and "knocking"
Seats 1L/2L may well be a good selection providing your spouse isn't too fidgety
