Not at all, but there's a small catch : I flew both segments in Y! Economy class on the A340 can be summed up in two words ; never again. I get the impression that there is an inverse correlation between aircraft age and economy class comfort : the newer the aircraft, the harder and narrower the seats, and the less pitch. I don't care for all the fancy IFE (I bring my own, known as a book), which further reduces legroom. Aisles were narrow, overhead bins small, and individual air vents absent. Not a nice aircraft. Service was friendly, though, and catering was perhaps marginally better than what other airlines serve on flights between Europe and SA.
