You got me confused here. Exactly the same seat as what? As domestic J? As ehat else?
But the real difference is in Y. It's the only long haul plane in the fleet that has not gone to a slaveship/sardine can configuration.
By the way, the flight was running very late (1h40). Before we boarded the agents said something like this "Because of the late running of the service, we're going to board from the back forwards, we now invite passengers in zones 4 and 5 to come forward for pre-boarding".
I laughed pretty hard and wondered what the flyertalk crowd would make of that. I'm assuming it's not company policy
I cannot imagine that to be policy. Contract agents doing it their way.
