I often notice TK A330s waiting at TXL and FRA as I pass through and can even remember seeing one at DUS.
These planes have either angle-flat or fully flat in J.

What's the early morning BA flight from T5B that regularly uses a sizable plane for a European route? I can't remember, though I'm sure there is one. To Germany maybe?
I seem to remember there was on a video of it on YouTube.

Really "most"?
BA flies 2.5 + 2.5 across (ie, middle seats "shrunk" into non-use) and at least about 34" pitch in Club Europe. Are they really the only one besides co-owned Iberia??? (Gosh, even the first row or two of 3 + 3 Y behind Club Europe tends to have 34" or so pitch. That's typically where I get seated if I'm in Y on a BA connecting flight booked through AA where I'm OW Sapphire via LT Plat.)
I flew in LH business and SAS business intra-Europe last summer, and I don't remember the pitch being as bad as 31"; it was somehow a bit better than standard Y, but I don't remember how much better. I don't remember if both were 3 + 3 or only SAS.)

(I pretty much never fly BA intra-Europe except as add-on legs to TATL flights, most likely on AA.)

Please explain: How do I select legrooms in coach if I've booked a TATL business class seat with AA miles and it continues on to a BA intra-Europe flight with CE. In other words, how do I force the downgrade to coach on BA so that I can select exit row seats, when the flight is an add-on leg to a longhaul business class flight (where the business class is very much worth it)?

I saw one TK A330 in BRU during Christmas. I don't know if was because of the holidays or is normal business in this route.
