This is what the Swiss homepage says about the width of the new seats on the A333:

Airbus A330-300
Seating 1-2-1 / 2-2-1, seat width 50.8 to 57.15 cm / 20.3 to 22.5"

Airbus A340
Seating 2-2-2, seat distance 152 cm / 60", seat width 52 cm / 20.5"

What does "seat width 20.3 to 22.5" mean? Aren't all the seats of the same width? And if not, which seats are the widest (and should thus be pre-booked the next time I will fly on LX)?
i would assume the seats that do not have a table on each side (one with armrest) are in a sense wider.
