But all of that doesn't help me if I'm in Europe and want to fly to the US. And even when flying to Asia I'd rather take the short hop here and sleep on the long journey than flying to mid-haul sectors.
Coming back to topic: We all know that one of the reasons for BA to come up with the CW seat layout was that with this layout they can squeeze in more seats in a row. That's no news so I don't know why everyone is complaining. The Seat is still comfortable (apart from the wibbly-wobbly footrest) and I actually felt lost in the SQ seat though it was nice as well.
I also don't understand why people want to avoid seeing Y pax at all cost. Does it make you feel guilty? I thought segregation stopped several years ago. There may even be a benefit, instead of one long priority lane there will be two shorter ones.
I do agree though, that they should have thought better of how you get from one CW cabin to the other one.
