LAS-SFO was in coach (I only did the day-of-flight upgrade for the SFO-SEA leg), not much to report except the plane was full, and I slept on the plane in coach, which almost NEVER happens... but it had been a long night without much sleep. VX's coach is pretty darn comfortable- as a comparison, I flew standby coach to LAS from SEA on AS, giving up my complimentary upgrade to F to get to Vegas earlier, in a less comfortable seat: 32" pitch, 17" width on a 737-400 compared to 32"/19.7" in coach for VX... BIG difference, as I am sort of wide at the shoulders.
The 19.7" seat width on the A320 is measured armrest to armrest (a convenient marketing ploy by VX), whereas 17" on the 737 excludes the armrests. The A320 Y seat is only about three quarters of an inch wider compared to the 737.
