There was no such snide, I spoke about "fat people" in general (recognising that I'm one too), mentioning that for most people it's not having more space, just being few cm further from the armrest. But the second half of the sentence makes it clear any debate is pointless - if you believe that Denmark has strong economy thanks to Americans, I can see how you can see the service-less "first" class on US carriers as being better.
Novo Nordisk is the only reason DK isn't in recession and is currently propping up much of the economy.
I know why people have agreed to being snowed by the middle seat free as a benefit, because it's really the only thing they get for paying so much more, but the rest of the package is lost in transit somewhere. The service isn't better, people in this forum whine ad nauseum about the food/the box/the whatever. There's even a difference between what AF does vs what KL does. IRROPs service is not light years better.
It's such an odd thing to beef about middle seat availability as if it's some kind amazing difference on a short flight when it's not any different than a Y passenger getting lucky with no one next to them.
