Delta One seating question.
Me and my daughter are flying JFK - BOM in December in DL One suites. I picked 5A and 6A suites.. Weird question as this is my first time in one suites.... Would we be able to talk and see each other from our seats with the privacy door closed? Daughter wants to feel comfortable talking to me for anything just from her seat...

No way to talk in the window seats without standing up in my experience.

You won't be able to easily see or talk to each other but the suite door is not the real issue. one of you is sitting in the seat behind the other. Imagine sitting in 2A and 3A in FC and trying to see each other and talk to each other, and magnify the difficulty because you are farther away from each other in suites. You need to be in the same row, in seats B and C. Then you are next to each other and you are separated by a privacy divider which you can lower .

Absolutely NO for being to see each other or talk between 5A and 6A even with the suite door open. Picking a B and C pair is your only option.

Thanks guys .. Picked 7B and 7C. Initially I picked windows as daughter wanted a window seat.. but I explained to her what I learned here and she is fine with B and C next to each other ....its a long 15 hour flight to BOM so getting next to each other is the best anyway..

This is because the "ottoman" is nearly 3x the size of the non-bulkhead seat ottomans. There is no seat in front, so the full width of the seat is afforded to you as the ottoman.
That, and you get served first. It is close to the lavatories, but there is never any smell, and any worries of light from the bathroom door opening/closing should be assuaged because of the suite door that closes.

On the long flights this plane is on, I just love being able to stretch my legs out and also to be served first and given the option to go to bed as soon as possible, if I want to. I am flying JFK-BOM but solo so I picked 1A. Amazing, amazing seat (that or 1D for a solo traveler).
Sitting row 7 and behind on this plane, and your service can end up ending an hour + later sometimes - no thanks. Plus, the bread is piping HOT when it reaches you in row 1!
