That's like asking how do you like this 400 ounce gold bar vs. your burning paper bag of doggy doo you have there on your front porch?

I flew on AC to YVR in their long haul J that goes on to SYD and was amazed to see CX J seats (e.g. same company and layout and controls) that are for some reason narrower and about 8 inches shorter than CX yet they have only 2 more of them in J than CX does on the 773, which is almost a violation of the laws of physics. (AC has 42 75/20.3 inch seats and CX has 40 82/21 inch seats). They were 4 across vs. 3 as well.

I asked the purser when AC was upgrading to their next-gen J seats and she told me that these were the next gen seats. So I was stumped as to how this was the case but I had to get there for a wedding and I sure wasn't going to go via JFK or on WestJet. She could not explain having 42 vs. 40 despite each seat being 10% shorter.

I flew in the 330 on the way back, same seats, fewer of them, and using the CX layout of 1 on the left and 2 on the right.

Service is OK if a bit dull, food-wise.
