I chose Row 2 D&H forward facing. Should I change seats? Why are there backward facing seats in Business Class ? Thank you.
It is a staggered forward/backward configuration, you are not seated nor looking directly across from someone. If you do a Google image search of "American 787-8 business class" you will find lots of pictures of what the seat and cabin look like. Perfectly comfortable for a 4hr LAX-MIA flight. Check out the below thread for details included preferred seats, etc.
