3-4-3 in Economy (Plus and otherwise) sounds more like hell than heaven to me.
You are right, no amount of marketing hype is a substitute to missing inches.
I've heard THAT before.
Unless you are very rich of course, In that case you might get away with short fingers. :)
Absolutely. United's 3-4-3 is only 17.1 inches of width instead of the 18.5 that you get with 3-3-3. Especially on super long haul like with the 777, that extra 1.4 inches makes a huge difference in overall quality of the flight experience. Georgia Tech ergonomics paper says 50th percentile male shoulder breadth is 17.9 inches: http://ergotmc.gtri.gatech.edu/dgt/Design_Guidelines/hndch703.htm#Figure 7-17. Shoulder Breadth.
You can say that again.
Sure is like hell. Add a tight seat pitch too and it's almost torture. Love the way these so-called "premium full-service" carriers seem to be leading the charge with cramped economy cabins. Now there is little difference between these and the budget carriers.
