If these truly are more comfortable seats (and given that KLM has been going the opposite way -
replacing the comfy seats with inferior replacements) then that is a good thing for the AF passenger.
I hope that the rush of being made a fuss over by AF hasn't overtly interfered with our esteemed colleagues' appraisal of the hardware!
EDIT: perhaps "medium-haul" would have been a better title for the thread - no one likes a middle seat!!! (which also begs the question - what medium-haul routes are plied with an A318/A319?)
