Somewhat OT but if Spirit Airlines (in the US) can find people willing to pay to be crammed into 28-inch seat pitch A320s with what they call "pre-reclined" (i.e., they do not recline) seats, then 3-4-3 on a 777 seems perfectly feasible. Unfortunately.

So I was wondering if anybody has any experience of Main Cabin Extra (MCE) with AA?
I am considering this for a 4 hour domestic out of JFK after a transatlantic in WTP with BA. I know that you can't compare the two as they are different products, but I am wondering if for 68 USD/person the extra space is worth it after a long day of travelling?

The only difference is the extra leg room - which on my aircraft (757-200) AA have made possible by the removal of 1 row of seats from near the front of the economy cabin. (it is row 11 that no longer exists on AA 757's with the new Main Cabin Extra config).
I assume they will arrive at the extra few inches by removing a certain row(s) on each aircraft type.
Happy New Year

I flew on it on a LH sector, and the front row (which I was on) was pretty good: if one is not too tall, lots of space, but without the very cold feeling of being on the exit row.
Not sure I would pay $70 for it, but then again, I've done PEK-ORD in Y more several times!
