However, I've yet to encounter an A330 or A350 (or AA, DL, or any other airline) that tried to fit in an extra seat. As such, I prefer Airbus widebodies from a width standpoint. I'm not sure I've ever tried an extra legroom seat on one, but I've never been bothered by normal economy pitch on AA or DL A330s/350s.

Also, I think Delta still flies from 763s across the Atlantic. Even though these are old, they are well maintained, and quite comfortable in Y.
And depending on how far out one books, the equipment may change! We booked a DL TATL on an A350, but ended up on a 767.
