This is how JL does it as well. JL's 747's I've flown on all had Y in the upper deck. It's not so bad though. Even in coach you can still get the benefit of much better pax/lav ratio, generally quieter surroundings, and with emergency exit goodness if you just bother to ask. Let the frail snobs have their silly nose area and join me for a drink in the bubble. The age of the coach warrior is upon us!
