Tighter squeeze on Jet Airways flights to London

JET Airways has reconfigured some of its Boeing B777-300ER aircraft to accommodate more passengers, squeezing in an additional 34 economy-class seats per plane.
The Indian carrier achieved this by slotting in ten narrower seats per row where there were previously nine. The number of seats in first and business class remains at eight and 30, respectively.
The higher density B777-300ERs will initially be deployed on flights between New Delhi and London (Heathrow) starting October 16, and on Mumbai–London (Heathrow) services from November 1. |

anybody who seriously considers tavelling long-haul in a B777 equipped with ten seats per row should have his/her brain examined. such narrow seating is a threat to health and should not be allowed by any authorities. I did that twice (Emirates, Austrian) without knowing before, and it was absolutely horrible. Thrombose carrier. sadly, so many airlines now dare to do this, not only the two formentioned, but as well KLM, Air France and now JET. Let\'s hope the customers vote with their feet (as long as they dont suffer from thrombosis in their feet after being squeezed on board of such an airline for 10+ hrs) |
