Certainly a good thing as it meant not having to go through security again...
We did exactly the same when we arrived at the BA gates however we had walked all the way from gate C33 and didn't even get on the train so you can imagine how far it was!

I find the F seats far more conmfortable on the TWA 757s.
Most interesting - thanks for that point. Naughty AA for not looking after them...tut tut!

I find the TWA seats in F more comfortable as well actually - great headrest - nice and squishy and soft!! Also, they seem to have those flip down footrests which is a nice touch.
