So I sat in Y on a refurbished 777. Still had the new plane smell.
Overall, it is survivable. Could use an extra inch or two of legroom (I sat at the back of the bus), but it wasn't too bad. IFE could have used a little work as it couldn't track the movies I wanted to watch properly... Kept mixing up the titles. But other than that, not bad. One piece of advice, if you are not in a preferred seat, grab the dual seats at the back of the bus. Nearly had two seats to myself if it wasn't so packed. Window seat also has some additional storage space to the side.

Wow. Well, I have nothing to say! Perhaps I should stop shelling out for high fares and just pay Flex and give the 3-4-3 Y config a shot!

I don't see what the problem is. I mean, the additional space in PY would be nice, but as long as you get up once in a while, it is livable. That said, in a few years when the cushions aren't as firm, it will probably be a different story. I don't see them having a lifespan of more than a few years at best.

To me, while you can't compare Y to J, so many people on this board make it out to be inhumane. The impression I got after reading here was that the seat was so tight that you were unable to move. After experiencing the actual product, I don't see what why people say it's so bad.

Actually, I am not trying to convince anyone. Wasn't trying to and not sure how you got that impression that I was. I am just curious as to why so many people on this board have such a hate on for these seats, making it as if sitting in Y is akin to torture.

Also, in between being overweight, 5'11 or taller, or having minor back issues, you've covered a good chunk of the population, so Y flying isn't particularly kind to these types of flyers.
