Seat pitch 46"/47" in business and 31"/32" economy and Panasonic 2000 video entertainment system.
They have affiliates both in Portugal and Malta. I'm guessing it's cheaper to register the birds in Malta - hence the 9H.

Looks like the pitch is the same as Airtransat. I'm checking seatguru and it says that some Air Transat 330s have 3-3-3 config. How is that possible??? That's VERY tight! Narrow aisles and narrow armrests - that's probably how.

You're definitely getting a better deal if it's a 9-abreast 330 from HiFly than if it was an Air Transat 10-abreast configuration.
