Either way, as a leisure traveler, I will stick with the 767s for shorter hops if I have to fly in Y...otherwise it's going front through upgrades or awards
It is a different seat than Y with similar dimensions consistent with AC and LH's PE product.

It is coming in 2018. Not sure when it will be retrofitted on existing fleets. It can be a relatively simple retrofit if there are no dividers moving.
