30% of the room under the seat in front of you is taken up with a box containing equipment for
the inflight entertainment. Should the person in front of you recline then you have 10 hours
of agony with no personal space. I tried taking all material out of the magazine pocket to
create extra room. Could not use Swiss long haul again even if I got it for free. I'm 1m 86
tall, medium build and weigh 73.5kg.Hope this helps other travellers.

Very tight space for average and tall people, there is a metal box underneath your front seat
that takes feet space. Not recommended for a long haul flight. You must pray that the person
in front of you doesn't recline or your knees will be crushed and the TV screen will be
touching your forehead.

For tall people a horrible experience on a long haul flight. Will never use Swiss again
unless they add leg room.

Very cramped seating, especially in the reclined position. Unable to sit in any position other than
the standard position, real difficult when trying to sleep. Will not use Swiss again for long haul,
unless seats improve.

Hong Kong-Zurich leg. Overall seating was quite good for the medium to small frame person when
sitting up. LCD entertainment system screen hopeless when seat in front is
reclined as you just lose sight of the program. You lower yourself in the seat
to see the program and that is when it becomes uncomfortable.

Singapore to Zurich. Absolutely terrible seat. The
seat is hard and my backside was painful after a few hours. Under the seats you have a large
box which contains entertainment electronics. This restricts your leg space by 25% and is outrageous
to have this unit here. The edge of the metal box cuts into your leg making it very uncomfortable.
Truly horrible.

The seats are comfortable, but the legroom is horrible for a long haul flight. They must improve the
legroom and the AVOD system.

Swiss uses the former Swissair A332 The seats are still the same and no longer state of the art.
They should really improve their seating comfort in C and Y class on their A332.

For an economy seat it wasn't bad - bit more space than I am used to. Must point out that
I prevented seat in front of me to recline by pushing my legs against seat - or else I would have been
squashed. That is why I don't recline my seat because you will torture other passengers behind you.
