Honeymoon Seats are adjacent center seats positioned directly next to each other in staggered cabins, ideal for couples traveling together.
When flying in a staggered 1-2-1 business class layout, the two center seats alternate row by row. In one row, the seats might be positioned on the aisles with a large console separating them. In the next row, the seats are pushed directly together in the middle, shielded from the aisles by their respective consoles. These intimate, paired seats are affectionately known as "honeymoon seats." They are the absolute best choice for couples who want to chat, share a meal, and sleep side by side. When the center divider is lowered, it can almost feel like a double bed, especially on products like Qatar’s Qsuites. If you are a solo traveler, you should avoid honeymoon seats at all costs, as you will be sitting uncomfortably close to a total stranger.
