It doing a row of 4 across better for a family or would we be better doing 2 and 2. Realistically the kids will be either sleeping or so engrossed by all of the video options they won't say a word to anyone but don't really remember the angling of the seats and whether the two middle ones face each other more or if they're more facing the seat across the aisle. I see we can get either the entire Row 4 in the mini-cabin (hearing some mixed opinion whether galley and lavs are a problem) or get Row 3 and 4 two seats each (or we just do a few rows back in the main business cabin).

Any thoughts or suggestions?
My wife and I always go for windows behind each other - not easy to chat in the middle seats. Also, the two sides can have wildly different experiences given they have different FAs.

Add the kids, and I would go for 4 windows in a row (if everyone likes to look out the window) or go window/aisle on the same side for two rows.
