How do you fit 10 seats across in a 777?
According to Boeing.com a 747's cabin is 6.1m wide whereas a 777 is 5.86m wide. That's a 24cm difference. Would that mean that the aisles on a 10-abreast 777 are each 12cm narrower? I'm assuming the actual seats are the same in each aircraft - they're narrow enough as it is!
