Flights have got more cramped. The aeroplanes have not increased in size, but the number of seats across has increased on numerous types - e.g. 10 on 777 , 9 instead of 8 across on 787s .... when was last time that a 747 passenger service operated with 9 across layout in economy

Agree. EK's 777's with ultra narrow seats can't be compared to W class at an industry standard 19+ inch width (plus armrests) and 38 inch pitch.

Air India (currently in service), although only the first cabin behind F. But the seats are standard width, just wider aisles.
