Seating confirmed: 3-4-3 on the 777 / 77W ... boooooooo
AA -- please stop your continued leadership in the race to the bottom in coach service and comfort standards. None of your marketing wizardry will convince your loyal flyers that this is a good thing, especially on long haul routes!
=================== MODERATOR NOTE================= The new 777-323ER coach seat information from American Airlines on Facebook, thanks to a recent post by imafaan on 28 May 2012: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...09456401_n.jpg Main Cabin Extra and Main Cabin / Economy - 30 MCE and 220 Coach seats (if quick math is OK) SeatGuru Seat Chart for American Airlines Boeing 777-323ER / 77W: http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Ame...777-300_ER.php AA Announces Initial Boeing 777-300ER / "77W" Schedule (as of 13 Dec 2012) (contains seat charts, photographs of all cabin classes) [/CENTER] |
But the loyal flyers will be in MCE. I'd give up 1 inch of width in order to get 4 inches of legroom. I think that this is a good deal for loyal flyers.

Still, even for loyal flyers, the prospect of having to choose a middle MCE vs. an aisle/window Y is definitely :rolleyes: |

This is grinding. The only good that can come of this is on less crowded flights, there's the possibility of one empty seat in between a window and aisle. But as someone who's enjoyed 5 seats across to myself, this is a most unwelcome development if true. |
We did NZ's 3-4-3 configuration on their 777-300 last month AKL-LAX. Didn't care for the tight width, narrow aisles, and just more crowded feel to it. Felt like the lav-to-pax ratio was worse with everyone packed in, but I don't know if that is actually true compared to 9-across lav situation. In any case, I won't voluntarily fly 10-across in a 777 again if I can help it. I'll stick to UA's 9-across, thanks anyway AA.

yeah, this is a real downer. I've had window and aisle to myself before on 2-5-2 and it was great, but I wonder how crowded this 10 across is going to be.

Pay for, use miles to upgrade or use an award and fly in J or find an airline with $200 fares and 40" pitch and 24" wide seats.
Everyone wants everything and not to pay for it. |
Interesting revelation, do we know the pitch and width of the seats?

Remember the 300 lb guy who file suit against Wendy's for not making bigger seats? I wonder if he will sue AA for not letting him squeeze into a Y seat.

AA has done a really good job (from what we've seen) with the F and J cabin re-design. Sadly they missed the opportunity to introduce a true premium economy product, especially in light of the higher density 3-4-3 Y cabin configuration. |
