Coach is coach, no way on earth is economy class on an IB A350 worth the extra travel time, added hassle of another security check and terminal change at MAD, and the torture that is IB intra-Europe economy class on MAD-CDG.

The AA 763's are dated for sure but they actually offer decent seat width and legroom compared to most 787/350/777's these days.

Thanks - yeah was not sure if the juice was worth the squeeze. Thanks for your insight JJeffrey, will do the nonstop, at least my status will get me a bulkh or something decent.
