Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - I searched but couldn’t find any threads.

I recently went with 6 friends to Athens on CE. They were a bit reluctant about the extra cost but I had told them that the service would be good and that the seats would offer much more room. So I was shocked to find that in both the O/B and I/B on an A320 were just economy class seats with the middle seats blocked off and with very little legroom (we are all quite tall). I usually fly BA long haul and haven’t bought a CE ticket for some time. I don’t think I will again if this is standard on CE. Quite honestly we would have been better off flying a low cost airline with exit seats. Is this standard on CE now or were we just unlucky?

I should add that in all other respects the service and meals etc were excellent. Many thanks
