747 UD "Exit Row Seats"
Hi guys, I'm after a little advice.
My wife and I normally travel together, but next year we are taking her sister with us as well. She is an adult but has downes and learning difficulties.
BA has moved our indirect flights back from Vegas to a direct flight so that is fine but I have a question on the seats. As gold I've selected 62A for me and 62K for my wife with my sister in law in 62J, as she will want to sit next to her sister. On the seat confirmation it tells me that 62A and K are both exit row seats and I've confirmed that we are both able bodied. The same restriction doesn't seem to apply to 62J is that correct? It's just listed as a normal seat and i'm not asked to confirm the able bodied status. I don't want to get on board and have any distress if anyone tries to separate her from her sister! Am I ok with the seats I have chosen or do I need to change? Comments would be much appreciated.

If anyone is confused by this, the reason is 62 A/K face backwards *towards* the exit whereas 62 B/J face forward *away* from the exit.
63 B/J face forwards towards the exit and are considered exit row seats, AFAIK.
