So for our Oct. 2019 Swiss trip we are booked on LX23 (JFK>GVA Redeye) in seats 6 D/G and return on LX14 (ZRH>JFK Daytime) in seats 5 A/B. Both flights are A330-300's
For a couple what are your opinions? I'm 6'2" and athletic build if it matters.
5 A/B Mini-Cabin privacy w/ 1 armrest and a window vs. 6 D/G Main Business bulkhead w/ 2 armrests and no window.....
Have the option to switch both flights to either option or leave it as is and experience both.
I'm gathering 4 or 5 D/G would be the best of both worlds, but one seat is already taken on both flights. Thanks!

Last question, is this still the bassinet/infant location (6 D/G), and if so, any way they would move or reassign us?
UPDATE: Called Swiss to change the return seats to 6 D/G and was told, "Not Possible/Infant Location" so I said OK, and left it alone. Decided to call back about 30-min later and got a much more clear and fluent woman who said "No Problem" and made the change which was reflected immediately on my only Swiss account. Moral of the story, when in doubt hang up and try again.

Yes, they do, since the seats available for sale (the thrones) actually used to be the seats reserved for elites before they introduced the seats sale. The seats opening up at T-48 actually comes from there.

Had my ZRH-LHR flight tomorrow upgauged to an A321. Which is better, 12F or 25F (or D)? Currently 12D and E are taken, while 25 D and E are not, but I'm sure that will change. I like windows, but seatguru says 25F has no window, if so should I go with 25D over 12F?

Is this also true for non-throne seats (e.g. 4D/4G on the 77W)? Based on datapoints I've seen, those are still unavailable for non-HON or *G.

UA *G scores Seat 5B on LX 3 months out on a "P" Fare
I'm booked in "P" class as a UA *G (1K) on an LX Metal A330 but a UA Code Share ORD-ZRH and somehow got a preassigned seat assignment 3 months out in 5B. Anybody have experience with this seat on the LX A330 ? Are LX Seats more like LH or OS ? I have flown long haul J on LX A340's CAI-ZRH-CAI 10 years ago and seem to recall LX being quite good. I am also flying LX in P Class on a Bombardier CS300 in seat 3D. Looks like the same dimensions of a UA Economy Plus seat which is exponentially better than the 30 inch pitch of the LH birds used to service Cairo. Anyone's experiences in J Class on the LX CS300 are greatly appreciated.

I don’t have experience of the 77W but on A330/340 the bulkhead seats such as row 4 are reserved for HON/SEN and become available to anyone T-48.

On the CS300 you’ll want to choose A or C if in Business as you will have two seats (A and C) to yourself.

Thanks! Looking at backup plans, since someone on a wide-open flight snagged the seat next to mine in row 6 for my honeymoon while waiting for a second award to open, so trying to find another bulkhead as I value foot space.

Pic of the seatmap for the day after tomorrow of the 9 am ZRH to JFK flight:
It's within th eT-48 window and as you can see 4A is free to be assigned, while the Sen/HON reserved seats are not!
