Comfort Score :  5/10

Seat was in row 36 at very front of Economy. While the lack of seats in front provided excellent chest room and made entry/egress from window seat easier, the proximity of the bulkhead severely curtailed foot/legroom. Simply impossible to stretch out. Also, inclusion of tray in the armrest made seat uncomfortably narrow. Cabin environment very quiet owing to forward position and good insulation on A340. Would only recommend this seat to pax under 1.65m and of slim build. Seat shape and support was pretty good.

Jo'burg to New York via Dakar. The seat was better than I expected. The seat bottom moves forward and tilts slightly at the front as you recline the seat back. The legroom was adequate. The size of the personal TV screens is also impressive and larger than other airlines.
