"seats are torture devices"
Stephanie Hom (Italy)
The seats are torture devices. I was fortunate enough to sit in an exit row (seat 23C) on CLT- FCO but since there was no passageway or galley behind the bulkhead passengers kept climbing across our row (and our legs!) during the entire flight. My heart went out to everyone else not sitting in the exit row - it is astonishing how little space there is with these seats.

"a pleasant economy seat"
Brad Fawcett (United States)
This pertains to seat 8B on the A330-200 as I think the center section of 4 seats and perhaps the rear section may not offer as much width. Seat width was an excellent 18.5" which greatly aided in comfort even though pitch was only 31". I thought the equipment box under 8a was not overly intrusive and much better than on Continental's B737's. I found the seat width great the TV screen quality very good and the food good-enough. Overall a pleasant economy seat.

"there was so little leg room"
Megan Black (United States)
There was so little leg room that I couldn't fit without bumping the seat in front of me. And I am only 5'8" tall 150 lbs. There was not even room for a small purse by my feet because of the box they had fitted underneath for the live vests. The passenger in front of me could not recline because my knees dug into his back. It is criminal that they think this is acceptable on a transatlantic 10 hour flight. Do not buy a ticket on their airline until they take out two rows from their configuration.

"the seat was unacceptable"
Jurgen Schulze (United States)
For an 8 hour flight from FRA to CLT the seat was unacceptable (admittedly I am 6'7" tall). Ground staff was extremely unhelpful regarding a seat change and I was forced to spend an additional $500 to buy an upgrade to Business Class. The seat is an insult to passengers.

"the worst flight for comfort"
Michael Barker (United Kingdom)
Flight from Philadelphia to Manchester UK. Have flown to and from USA over 25 times. This by far was the worst flight for comfort and leg room. The internal flight from Boston to Philadelphia has acres more legroom and space. Do not fly transatlantic with US Airways if you want to fly in comfort.

"the most uncomfortable seats"
Larry Myers (United States)
By far the most uncomfortable seats I have ever experienced. We went 1 leg on an Airbus 320 - that was great. Last leg on the 757 - that was horrendous. I'm only 6' tall but my knees hit the seat in front of me the entire trip. There was so little room between that seat and mine that I wasn't able to use the lap tray for my computer. The distance between adjacent seats was minimal so buckling seat belts was an arduous task. This plane is probably fine for 1 hour flights but on 7-8 hour flights it's horrible. This plane is billed as 188 passenger; it needs to be about 150 to give people an opportunity to relax on their flight.

"seats incredibly uncomfortable"
Mike McKee (United States)
Add one more to the list of those who find USAirways A330 coach class seats incredibly uncomfortable. As others have also stated this was puzzling because our Denver to Philadelphia leg on an A320 was fine. I was shocked that our international leg to London offered worse comfort than the domestic leg. Makes no sense. I should point out that I am the type who almost never complains about anything and can usually cope with discomfort or inconvenience. I am also relatively tall at 6'/0" but not unusually so yet all the way to London I had to sit at an angle. It was impossible for me to fit with my knees pointed straight ahead. It wasn't close either. I had to sit at about a 30 degree angle to one side then switch to the other side ad nauseum. By the time we arrived I was in serious pain and discomfort. I have never experienced seats this close together on any flight anywhere!
