I have not flown this aircraft with EK for years, so would appreciate your comments on the seating in J.
I have the option of coming back via PEK (as that is a 77L), but is J in the 332 really that bad, that I can justify cathing a flight from HKG to PEK?
Thanks in advance.
Terrible. Width is no better than UA domestic F and they put the window seats so close to the wall that in my case my shoulder was jammed up against it when sitting upright. The only other plane I've had that problem with is a Canadair RJ200, which is a very sad comparision. For a short flight it's probably OK but god help you if it's a long flight, you might as well be in economy. I would definitely try to get an alternate carrier, almost any carrier.
