Try to get one of the 4 seats in the middle. On the first leg of our journey we where put on
the last row in the middle, which was a little better. A little more comfort to get out of
your chair and possibility to stand up a bit near the emergency exit.

The seats on the A330-200 differ to their B777-200 and B747-400 in that they seem to be
harder, making it less comfortable. There is still a decent amount of legroom and recline but
less than on their other long-haul aircraft.

Good seat pitch, TV screen good, seat a bit uncomfortable without cushions to sit on, access okay.
What you would expect for an economy seat, but the best for seat pitch.

PAX size: Medium
Recommended : Yes
Comfort Score : 8/10
Legroom space
The seat itself is very comfortable with good leg room and lumbar support. The recline seems to be
less than it used to be compared to the old seats prior to the installation of in-seat TV screens.
The only negative is that the seats seem a bit narrow.

747 Seat seems a little narrower than the 777. Also, there seems to be slightly less room in the
747 - seat seems thicker. Could be my imagination.

Seat pitch well above average, good quality seats – overall comfortable experience. 2x5x2 cabin
layout excellent for couples and reduces the number of passengers who are two seats away from an
aisle to only one per row.

I sat in Row 60. I chose this because at this point in the plane there can only be two seats to the
left and right of the aircraft, although there were four seats in the middle. Row 60 and those behind me had more room.
