There is a little number at the top-right corner of your post which should link to it (it took me a little while to notice it)

This one should link to your report: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showp...83&postcount=4

That thread has more than one trip report, so it would be better to link the whole thread in this case.

nermaljcat

good point.

Never noticed that. Thanks for your help. However I agree with BiziBB to link the entire thread. Thanks for compiling the list BiziBB!

AS down SEA-LAX, VX up...

BiziBB

Thank you to our SEA flyers prismwiz and eponymous_coward for your reports, which now sit atop the SEA Trip Reports index.

What a great impression you've made, VX, on these FTers for these flights. Let's hope the standard can be kept up.

Mini trip report: LAS-SFO-SEA

LAS-SFO was in coach (I only did the day-of-flight upgrade for the SFO-SEA leg), not much to report except the plane was full, and I slept on the plane in coach, which almost NEVER happens... but it had been a long night without much sleep. VX's coach is pretty darn comfortable- as a comparison, I flew standby coach to LAS from SEA on AS, giving up my complimentary upgrade to F to get to Vegas earlier, in a less comfortable seat: 32" pitch, 17" width on a 737-400 compared to 32"/19.7" in coach for VX... BIG difference, as I am sort of wide at the shoulders.

SFO-SEA: also not too much to report, but I flew the same plane up to SEA (different crew), but I was in F and enjoyed a great meal and very good attendant service. This flight was ALMOST full.

Several AS regulars like myself were also in F on VX for their first time, and also were blew away by it the same way I was my first time.

The 19.7" seat width on the A320 is measured armrest to armrest (a convenient marketing ploy by VX), whereas 17" on the 737 excludes the armrests. The A320 Y seat is only about three quarters of an inch wider compared to the 737.
