Have only flown the seats once and it wasn’t great but wasn’t awful. But I do sometimes worry that it’s little steps towards the lowest common denominator with airlines. On an individual level each thing can be dismissed as “okay and manageable” and people complaining about them seem as nit-picking but you miss the overall change once you add little things together.
I realise it’s not the end of the world and I realise little things like menus, tables in the middle seats and hot towels in CE aren’t going to kill anyone but it just takes that shine off things that little bit.
