Honestly, I don't blame craz for being upset on a trans-atlantic flight. I might tolerate a bad seat on a 3 hour domestic flight, particularly for a low fare. However, I recently chose NOT to take CO on a trans-atlantic flight because there were only middle seats still available. If I'm paying $1400, I want an aisle seat on a long flight.
Fortunately, on my upcoming flight, I waited a few days and snagged a $2K business class fare on LH!!! Thanks to FT'ers for pointing out this great deal!^
