Delta's Business Class - Flat Bed Seats
Has anyone flown Business Class with Delta recently ? I was upgraded to BC (ATL-Munich) however, the DL rep told me we would need to be seated across from each other due to a partition between the two middle seats. She told me to google it for more info. I did however, the seats with the high partition is a 777 and our flight is on a 767-400 which does not have the partition separating the two seats. I would hate to win out on the bonus of BC and then not be seated beside each other. I have tried, with no sucess, to get people to swap seats before so I would rather get this sorted ahead of time. I called Delta again but the agents I spoke with have no idea and did research and couldn't tell me either. Can anyone help ? Many thanks....

I would post this question on the Delta board of flyertalk.com - lots of specific seat info there from members

I have flown in these seats several times. They are set up in a staggered 1-2-1 arrangement. Something like this:
A- <aisle> B-C- <aisle> -D
-A <aisle> -B-C <aisle> D-
The - is a relatively large table area, which serves as the footwell for the person behind you.
So... If you want to sit together, you should choose B and C seats in the same row. You will be divided by the table area, but you will definitely be close enough to converse and pass things back and forth.
Personally, I like row 1, as the footwells are much larger, but be aware that the galley is in front of you, so there might be some light and/or noise. I always wear headphones and a mask when sleeping, so never a problem for me. All in all, I think these are pretty good seats. Not perfect, but very nice. The tables can be a bit of a PITA to pop back into storage, the flat bed position can be a bit snug if you are on the larger side, and there is limited floor storage. Regardless, they are among the better business class seats available across the Atlantic.
