AF 773er + 772 best economy seat ?
Hi,
I am travelling CDG-SCL and return in April unfortunately both ways in economy.
The flights are scheduled as a 773er outbound and 772 return.
I am struggling to find any decent seat recommendations in Y to make the journey as least painful as possible for the 14hrs+
As an FB Plat I have reserved 26C (seat plus) on the 773er and 35J (seat plus) on the 772 for the return. Are these the best options ? I have read somewhere though that seat width is reduced on these aisle seats due to table and monitor in the armrests. Any idea by how much ?
Does anyone have any comments or recommendations ?
Many thanks

This is definitely the best choice. Yes, seat width is slightly reduced compared to a regular seat but it's not that much and the unlimited legroom is definitely a big advantage.

My ticket is Q class so am hoping a business upgrade award seat may come available closer to the time and I can use FB miles at least one way ! Not convinced the miles for Premium economy are worth it over an exit row in the back.

Thanks. I went for legroom as I am 6'3" was just checking I could fit my rear in the seats.
