I believe the best seats for two people who want to sit together are the bulkhead seats, 4D/G or 6D/G, if you can get them.

Otherwise the window pairs are good too for a couple- my wife always likes with me rows 5, 7, 9, 11, 13- she takes the window and I take the Aisle.

So I am going through this and trying to gather the info. I bought a ticket that will be ZRH-SFO in F...it is the A340 which it seems is the older F product, there are no A340s with the new F that is advertised all over the site. LAX appears to be the A340 as well.
I chose to go to SFO so I could have the longer flying time and really enjoy the flight/experience and would end up doing it around my Mom's birthday to surprise her in California. Is it worth flying ZRH-ORD-LAX/SFO instead for the A330 to have the newest F?

The new F is not worth the detour and hassle of changing to domestic "F" in ORD at all. Enjoy the old F all the way - it is still a great product. ^

I got TG'd for a trip in the spring where my BKK-SYD F went to a 2 class plane and have been wanting the "Swiss" F experience so was able to find a pretty compelling price that will take me EWR-LHR(train)CDG-ZRH-SFO-MRY with the EWR-LHR UA J and ZRH-SFO LX F.
Edit: You are right, looking at it (since I am flying to MRY) I would have to fly ZRH-ORD-LAX-MRY getting in very late and having extra lay overs and domestic flights. Plus, I would have to call in to change and I like doing things online.

Can anybody please tell me if Swiss charges any fees for advance seat selection in coach class? These are intercontinental flights operated by Swiss and the fare class is K if it makes any difference. Thanks in advance.

Hi, am booked on LX178 (A343) for 2 pax and after dropping from SEN to FTL I'm no longer able to select 4D & 4G seats. However, from what I understand I should be able to grab 6D & 6G given they are not taken already.
However, when I check on the seat map I can grab 6G, but there seems to be no 6D seat available for selection at all. Am I missing something?
(I tried to do a search on this thread, but didn't find an answer though I got this nagging feeling that I read about it before here).
Thanks ...

I have flown in 4D & 4G before I lost SEN last year so definitely prefer the bigger cubby hole for the feet though I could do without being a newspaper kiosk during boarding time. Currently have 5D & 5G for a more quiet time in the mini cabin. Both row 4 and row 6 are empty now, but lots can happen in 3.5 months.

Thanks. Interesting. The thing is that I can see all the "desirable" seats on the seat map, but indicated as Preferred ones in yellow, e.g. 4A, 4D, 4G, etc. 6G is green and I can grab it, but 6D does not even show at all. Not grayed out or anything like that. Just looks like it does not exist.
