Group in First: Best Seating Option?
 
I'm flying ORD-LAS with a group of Five people- does anyonehave experiences with having a group four across versus two and two on the same side?

I've done 4-5 people in F on several occasions. I prefer 2 front, 2 directly behind. It's easier to all be in a conversation, and everyone is spatially closer.

For the 5th, just across the aisle from one of the pairs.

Just MHO.

I agree. Easier if four are on the same side and the fith across.

Please don't ruin the flight for the rest of the F cabin by gabbing between people not seated directly adjacent to one another. An airplane is not a place for a 4-5 person meeting or party.

Aircraft type?

We travel as a family of five and I'd agree with two in front, two directly behind and one across the aisle being the best option.

I generally sit behind one of the kids so I can kick their seat if they're acting up :rolleyes:

Based on the suggestions I've booked a cluster of four seats on the same side of the aircraft with one person seated in the aisle across. Should work out well. Thanks!

Hence the question I've posed. I've purchased the space in the cabin and I don't see any problem whatsoever with talking to the people in my group; hardly should 'ruin the flight'. This is public transportation. Not a library.
