Sorry Yellowsnow, the thread was started as a seperate thread by warkman, the moderators merged it with this one.
Essentially the Upper Class Suite was designed for the business traveller, Virgin were losing thousands due to the poorly designed J2000 seat.
The J cabin on our flights to St Lucia is really nice, small and intimate. There is only 14J seats. The closest seats together in this cabin that I would recommend would be 6A and 6K. These seats are right up at the nose of the aircraft therefor you and your wife could sit accross from each other. You are looked after by one Senior Crew member and a Cabin Services Supervisor. Plus one crew member preparing the meals so 3 crew for 14 passengers.
The biggest downside with the UCS is that sadly it is uncomfortable to sit and hold hands with your partner.
During the flight the ottoman which doubles as a foot rest for the passenger can be used to have your meal together , enjoy a glass of wine, or just to sit and have a chat with each other, its a great part of our suite and one that I know our passengers enjoy...because they tell me themselves.
Best of luck with your decision making.
