My choice would be 4D - which gives more room but of course also is open to the aisle. 6A and 4G may be too narrow for you with tables on both sides. All have the wider foot space that bulkheads have.

Thank you 🙏

On an A333, any preference for 8K vs. 14K in the last row of the J cabin? I guess it's a question of being closer to the aisle vs. closer to economy. Thanks!

First time flying F for honeymoon. Unfortunately the first seems rather full so we are seated 1K and 2K.
Would rather sit together of course but only 2G is available. What's the chance of asking the SEN hotline to somehow manage to get me the 2D seat? Would they be able to contact the other person to change or will I have to wait for boarding and ask directly which is a bit weird?

You may ask directly or the MdC can do it for you.

Enjoy your trip!

That depends on (assuming you want to sit together of course) whether you want a window with no aisle access plus an aisle or aisle access for both.

Window+aisle: 5AB in the minicabin,

Two aisles: bulkhead paid 4DG, 6DG for increased room for feet.

Normally the 2D is only blocked, but not occupied. When you call SWISS they can change the blocked seat to another location. I did that quite often successfully.

What is a better seating option for a party of four, the entire row 1 or one side of the plane (1 and 2 AD)?

I booked tickets through United for SFO-ZRH-VCE back in April. The flights are on Swiss metal. When I received the Swiss PNR, I paid for seat reservations. The SFO-ZHR leg has been stable and seating has not changed as it continues to be on a 77. However, the flight from ZHR to VCE seems to change almost weekly. When it does, we lose our seat assignments and I have to explain it all to CS and show my receipts in order to get reassigned. This just happened for literally the twentieth time! It's absurd and though I've asked the reps to permanently fix it no one seems to know how. Any suggestions on who to contact or will they even care?

That sounds crazy, but for an hour-long flight, I think I'd just say the heck with it and deal with seating during check-in or at the gate/on board.

Thanks, but my wife is a nervous flyer, so sitting together is mandatory. It's also the principle of the matter. Since I had to pay extra for seat selection, I'm averse to taking leftovers at the gate.

Understandable. Well, one thing that you can try is to call LX and ask the agent to do an "OSI TCP" entry for the two tickets. This is an element added to a PNR to inform the airline that you are together (OSI = Other Service Information; TCP = The Complete Party).

Free seat selection
 
Does swiss still allow free seat selection during check-in? Long haul to BKK on probably cheapest possible booking class.
There is conflicting info on this.
In some places it says for a fee, in faq it says

​​​​​​​Of course, you can still choose from the available seats free of charge (excluding all European flights with the Light fare), when you check in for your flight. Check-in normally starts 23 hours before departure. Please note that the choice may be limited
But web site asks for money. What's the real situation?
