In economy, this is a truly hateful long haul configuration. This aircraft originally had a 3, 3, 3 configuration in the cheap seats. Airlines have recently been replacing this with 3,4,3. There simply is not the width. The toilets cannot cope. The aisles are ridiculously narrow. Folk with aisle seats are fooked. Folk in the tail where it narrows to 2,4,2 are properly fooked given the huge queues for the toilets.
People could not even eat their food with a knife and fork in a conventional manner as there was inadequate width. Intead they had to hold the (hot) food tray in one hand, using just a fork or spoon in the other. Like eating yoghurt out of a small pot.
Unless you are next to an anorexic or a child, you will be pressed against your neighbour no matter where you sit in economy.
Given my height, I always pay extra for exit seats. Before flying I was offered an upgrade to business class for £380. I really wish I had taken it.
