Airbus A350-900 Business for Families
Last year, we found a great business class redemption on a flight back from Florence (through CDG) on Air France. When we booked, the flight was going to be operated on a 777-200. That seemed great for our family with two small kids.
The plane has changed to the A350-900. Were still excited about business class, but the layout with the staggered seats has us wondering where to sit?
Do we take an odd row (With less privacy) with a kids in the middle and adults on the windows? Or split up into even rows with an adult and a kid in each middle section and put the dividers down? The kids will be 5-1/2 and 7-1/2 at the time of travel.
of course, this could all be for naught as our trip is scheduled for late-July of this year.
Thanks for the suggestions and stay safe!

I travel alone so this is just based on thinking about it, but you'd probably want to go with a split across two center pairs like 2E,F and 4E,F. If I was a parent, my paranoia would probably have me doing this since with the divider down on the paired seats you could literally jump over if you wanted to. Especially if these are small children, none of the other seats really afford you visibility.
These are more or less the same as the UA Polaris seats so you may gain additional insight checking the "where to sit" threads in the UA forum, and also just photos and reviews of those cabins, as the seats have been flying there for some time now, while they're new to AF as of last September I believe.

If, for the same price, you have to buy a car made in mid-1990's or one made in mid-2010's, which one will you go for ?
