Well..... come to find out one of the husband's favorite things to do in business class is to "have dinner together". Meaning put the divider down and enjoy our dinner together. Oops.

But in looking at the middle seats, it appears as though they are quite angled away from each other, so I'm not sure if changing to middle seats instead of window will even give him what he wants. To add to all of this, we currently have row 6 and 7 window seats and the only middle seats available together are clear back in row 15 and beyond.

So to the questions: a) how "together" are the middle seats, as in could we enjoy our dinner together? It's an evening flight, so it's not like we'd miss the view much and b) would we have a lesser experience being further back in business class, i.e., row 15, 16, or 17 vs. rows 6 and 7? I recognize that we paid more for our seats and that we would not be refunded by switching. That doesn't bother me.

Thank you in advance!
