Don't forget there's a natural bias here against change, especially if said change occurred post-merger I haven't flown on the new seats UA has installed yet, but I have flown extensively on flights with the less-comfortable version LH has and thought it was a slight improvement over the old, worn seats. Certainly not even remotely as bad as some people here are intimating.

So form your own opinion of course, but always take complaints you read here with a pinch (or ten) of salt.
