There are a couple of wide body configurations that have 2x3x2 seating in economy, but I'm a little incredulous too. Unless they are pretending that's a regional jet :)
On what airlines? The last time I flew economy in a 777 it was 2-5-2. I think more recently, 3-4-3 is common.
On 787s, 3-3-3 seems like the standard.
Not sure what Airbus is up to, but I'm guessing they're not selling many planes if their selling point is "higher fuel consumption for every economy passenger!"
Ah, that makes sense. The 767s are on their way out (I guess United still uses them, though), so the days of 2-3-2 are nearing an end. 787s are all 3-3-3, I believe.
Maybe in a premium economy configuration. It's definitely not common/standard in regular economy (or even an economy plus a couple extra inches of legroom) configuration.
That's a 767. I fly United about 75,000 miles a year and I'm not sure the last time I've ever been on a 767. It's been a long time. This is a fairly typical 777 seat map (without Premium Economy). https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/travel/inflight/aircraf...
I also end up flying a lot of 737s which are 6 across in economy.
I was on a 767 from Philadelphia to Zurich about two months ago with American Airlines. But man it was an awful experience. Overnight flight with shared TVs playing an action movie with lots of flashing lights and explosions combined with outdated seats and no individual climate controls meant I landed in Zurich at 8am having gotten no sleep the whole flight.
At least Delta provides masks on their red-eye flights.
It may be just the routes I fly. I'm mostly 737s or 757s, or the odd 777 (usually going to Asia). I do see I have a 787 on my next trip to Europe but that's 9 across in Economy Plus/Economy. (Premium Economy is 7 across.)
Some people are just determined to believe that their personal experience must be universal, facts be damned. You've just encountered one such. Every time I see that name I know it's going to be the same shtick.
