And using LHR T3 for the first time, so get to explore the wonders of the CX Lounge!
Happy travels ... would be nice to hear how you found it.

Its funny; when travelling with someone I love the BA J seat set up more than perhaps any other. The way you can chat and see each other is much nicer than a side by side set up. I wouldn't sacrifice that for a limited problem of stepping over a footstool. But I suppose as I find this easy its not a trade off at all for me.

So why restrict yourself to seats that happen to have the same number? Your requirements would be equally satisfied if you were in, for example, 62A and 63B - and the occupants of those two seats can actually see each other if they lean forward (although I don't recommend shouting across the gap).

In 63A/B we often hold hands across the divider. Even after 37 38 years of marriage 
God, how time flies!!

I'm finding the seat map on the BA app very confusing. I'm really looking forward to our first trip on the UD of the Queen of the Skies soon and actually had the same question about isle access.
Are you saying that 62B has someone [i.e. 61A] stepping over them? The marking of the Exit makes it seem like it would not.
Also, any advantages of 63AB over 62AB?
Thanks!

61A climbs over 62B.
The EXIT bit is just to identify those who are responsible for assisting in an emergency evacuation ... nothing to do with Aisle access at all.
As you have probably noted, as a couple we use 63A/B and allow My Lady to squeeze through the gap by the cabin wall ... because she can!
