Selecting seats on A380 F (Apartments)
So I managed to book two first-class award seats on an EY A380. I understand from the reviews that some seats are paired and the partition between can be removed, but I have been unable to find out which seats these are.
I've looked at three or four different EY A380 seat maps, and each one is different, with one showing seats that don't exist on another.
I also have been unable to assign seats. I tried calling EY and the agent said the seats were blocked for airport assignment but might open up for booking in a few months (the fight is more than six months away).

I'm questioning whether to get opposite apartments or connecting...

This video I saw on Youtube should also assist as it shows the different seating configs-

I went for 3A with my wife in 4A for lhr-auh.
I'm thinking to try across the aisle for the long flight Auh-syd just in case flying backwards is not my thing.
It's a shame that one of the pair need to be flying in reverse in order to fly connecting Apartments.

You won't notice any difference other than take off and landing. Several airlines, including BA, have rear facing seats in J.
I would argue 4A and K could work just as well. Clearly you can't sleep next to each other but you can dual dine and hang out in each other's apartments.

Also it would seem that 1H and 2H have the bed better situated next to the windows as opposed to 3A/4A or 3K/4K where your head is pretty much on the aisle when you sleep ?

Regarding the new First apartments on the LHR-AUH route they look to be 1 X 1 . Would this indicate that they are all forward facing.

Ended up going with 3K and 3A for the AUH-SYD leg.
So connecting beds all the way. Hopefully no issues with the backwards flying. Even though I know many airlines operate it in J like BA and UA but myself personally have never flown it.
If there was a connecting bed option with two forward facing apartments that would be my first choice. But no such option in the current EY config.
