In sum: Both going and coming back, A332 PHL-CDG-PHL in Y was tolerable to pleasant enough that I convinced my wife that it was worth risking in event SWU's don't clear on forthcoming trip over!
Yes, the ice cream is now a standard part of the service. Also had it SNN-PHl this year. I've had this on foreign carriers, but it's nice to see AA do this as well (I believe DL does now too). The old nasty US 757 wasn't great, however. Definitely a much better experience on an a332.
The 332 is still my recommendation as a couple as long as the connection times make sense. The origination city and the possible connections really are important in this discussion IMO besides the seat.
