Sorry, Hokulea, missed your question at post 15. No, I'd always go for a pair of seats together - otherwise you will be staring at a stranger through the divider. The cabin crew often serve through the divider so you can keep it open as a couple and be served together, eat together, pass things through etc. Of course, if you plan to sleep throughout it is slightly different but still we always plan to be in side by side seats. It is just one of those BA CW oddities, and they have got the message and are changing the layout.
