Has anyone flown on A330-200 (coach)?
I need to do PDX-NRT at the beginning of October on a 330-200, coach, and am wondering whether anyone in this forum has flown on this type ship and has something to say about his/her experience. If not 330-200, those of you who have flown on -300 are certainly welcome to do the same, esp. if you have flown coach.

Premium Econ vs Reg Econ.
If you look into nwa.com, the -300 coach has Premium Econ section with power port and better pitch while the -200 doesn't have Premium Econ section.
Seat width and comfort are the same otherwise. Both -200 and -300 comes with PTV and Audio/video on demand.
You can also visit seatguru.com for detail explanation..

hey, it's coach. nothing spectacular. if it's set up like the 333 then get a seat in the forward cabin as those have more pitch and also have 110v outlets under them. I liked 10B (first row) at the door. if personal video appeals to you then that;s a plus. I usually just read or try to sleep.

Thanks guys. I have found it interesting that on -200 the Premium Seats are virtually non-existent. I am currently seated in 10A, which is in a bulkhead (vs. exit) row on a -200. I almost never choose a window seat, even in WBC, but thought I'd try it this time. Has anyone been in this first row of the coach section on a 330-200?

I flew a 330-300 on SAS in coach in July. Except for the PTV, I didn't notice much difference between it and coach on other aircraft.

The personal video system alone makes the 330 coach seat beat coach on any other NW or KL aircraft, and finally makes them competitive with all the other airlines that have them on their long-haul aircraft.
