Equipment in order of preference?
Of the 4 distinct aircrafts AF uses on the east coast (JFK/ATL) to CDG routes, the following have Premium Economy seats:
In what order would folks rate the flying experience? Is the soft product of Premium Economy the same in all three planes? What about the hard product? Having flown LAX-MEL on the A380, I assume that plane offers the best overall TATL experience.
Thanks.
- A330-200 (ex-JFK)
- A380-800 (ex-JFK)
- B777-300ER (ex-JFK/ex-ATL)

All AF long-haul planes have W seats. The hard and soft products are the same across the fleet, but if I had to choose, I would indeed take the A380 in W because the cabin is bigger and if you can have row 80 on each side, you have a huge legroom because it is an exit row.

But if the OP is stuck to Y, I would say the 777's are the least interesting option due to their narrow seats and isles.

Hopefully, I'll be able to book in W and ideally ex-JFK and not ex-ATL as my trip starts from DFW.
