So I know MC/Economy is a bit tight. Has anyone seen a car seat fit in them?

Seat map shows 34DEGH and 35DEGH as MCE but I believe these weren't MCE before they retrofit PEY. Have AA done something to the back of the plane to make these MCEs?

Surely someone has flown in the back by now since the new seatmap. Is row 32 AC / JL really MCE? (The old wider 3-3-3 MCE seat? Or the skinny seats they use for 3-4-3?) Or rows 33-35 in the center column? Any photos by chance? Otherwise guess I'll find out / take some on Sunday... Thanks!

Yes picture please. Especially for Row 34 and 35 as there are 3 of us and don't prefer bulkhead. Thanks in advance.

The lowly Y fliers get no respect in FT

No one has updated the situation in row 31/32...

After J on LAX-LHR with Mrs BLG we'll be trying out 32 A/C on the LHR-LAX return. Maybe we'll get lucky and somehow manage to snag a couple of Savers, but if not I'll file a report. I too was looking for any info on that pair and couldn't find it. Hopefully the positive of having a two-across pair will outweigh any negatives from proximity to the galley.

Booked into 32L&J for JFK-LHR, curious about the answer to this as well considering we won't be flying until December

Will report back but our flight isn't until late October. I have noticed that even this far out the few two-across pairs are already gone except for the exit rows which no one seems to want which I understand.

I have been feeling guilty not responding to this thread as I have been flying row 31/32 J/L MCE couple times. I would choose row 32 any day of the week, only because row 31 has no side window and the tv is in the armrest which decreases seatwidth.

If you are tall (185+cm) and skinny go for row 31.

Thanks!

Anyone know how D-H in rows 33-35 are? Those are labeled as MCE as well, but the ABC/JKL seats are regular leg room.

Thanks very much for the report! Very good to hear since neither of us is tall nor are we big. That bears out what I was thinking when I grabbed 32 AC (JL were taken). Have you been bothered by the galley or pretty much no big deal?

I keep booking seats in the economy cabin but seem to always end up cancelling/moving to a better flight/cabin option.


One day I may walk back for a look.
