Its interesting because the competition has better planes at around the same price (depending on dates).

Guess we'll see what my return flight is like.
Fly the two class 767's they're beautiful birds.

Having flown the two class in coach on two occasions, the seats are fine. The old and new iterations are totally different, one old and ugly, the other you take to show your mom.

No seatback screens.

No radio.

No overhead movies.

No power outlets.

The seats feel about as comfortable as the new York subway.

Oh how I wish for an outdated plane. I fear my back will kill me tomorrow
I was on a 320 to Vegas and it had free video streaming, and depending on what row you had or if it had the new seats, it had power outlets
