ARGENTINA-EUROPE IN ECONOMY- LH or AF?
Hello.
Simple as that I must fly from Buenos Aires to Dusseldorf.
What would you guys choose based mainly on the seating issue.
I do not care about food really.
I am 1K in United but this does not allow me an exit row seat in LH.
In AF, just plain Ivory (lowest category of Flying Blue)
AIR FRANCE flies a 777-200 non stop to Paris, and then plane change to DUS. Shorter flight than LH.
1)seats:
pitch 32.0"
width 18.0"
2) IFE
Individual in flight entertainment in economy
LUFTHANSA flies a 747-400, stops in GRU, then in FRA and then plane change to DUS. Longer than AF.
1)seats:
pitch :30-33"
width: 17.5"
2) IFE
There is no individual IFE, just a big screen like the good ol days.
Thanks!^

Just from the pros and cons that you've listed, AF sounds better. You're going to have middle seats on both (3-3-3 on AF and 3-4-3 on LH) so that shouldn't impact your choice.
I like LH from a service side of things though I am used to the IAH-FRA flight which is on a 346.
My experience with AF has not been great in the past but I have only flown them a few times so I would not consider those experiences worth anything.
