I would tend to agree with the worst sleep statement and the narrow seat statement. I have never had a good sleep in the pods. The sleeping was so bad that I got to the point where I would always ask to be moved to a window seat in Y so I could sleep all night, and finally I just stopped flying AC TATL/TPAC all together.

You're right when you say there are worse out there, and there are much better too!

Classic J pods I avoid at all costs, Rapidair on those planes, ya, I'll suffer the hour in J if I have to, but I'd rather be in a Y seat on those planes if at all possible.



I wouldn't go so far as to say it is hyperbolic, and as for not flying Y very much just makes the review all the more genuine - if the J cabin experience of multiple carriers is indeed what the comparison is being made to. ^
I am sure the guy does not fly as much as you nor have the same unique circumstances which would lead him to prefer Y instead like you do.

He also has to keep in mind that he has an audience to report to and reporting that the classic pod is as bad as he says it is does not benefit the majority of the flying public
