440 seats!! Can that be right? I find that many are incredible. I don't want to fly with such a plane. cheers TP  You're probably not their typical target customer !! Will it be worse than the Economy section in a typical 2 or 3 class configuration ? Surley what matters is seat width and pitch. Geoff |

Geoff Well, I don't know about the pitch, but a 9-abreast A330 could be seen as a form of torture. |

Be aware: The aisles get smaller too. So sitting next to one means you are constantly bumped on by sleepy "fattie's"-bottoms (in Europe or the US not in Asia maybe), carts and such. However if the price is right I get more tolerant. Still depends a bit on my seat neighbours.

Geoff Yes, it will as the both the seat width and pitch will be much lower. With 440 I will asuume 3-3-3 config, and max 28" pitch. Where as you "typical" 2 or 3 class A33o in 2-4-2 and 30-31" in economy |

Where as you "typical" 2 or 3 class A33o in 2-4-2 and 30-31" in economy According to seatguru, Cebu Pacific's 436 seat A333 has seat pitch of 31" in economy. That is with 5 rows of "premium" economy (9 abreast too,  ) at 34". But then again, it says that the seat widths are at 18" for 9 abreast...which is certainly wrong. |

My brother just flew Cebu Pacific A330s. According to him the pitch in definately not 31", and he couldn't just to sit properly in the seat being 193cm |

I have two further questions on this.
How common will 3-3-3 become in A330s ?
Which is worse 3-3-3 in an A330 or 3-4-3 in a 777 ?
Think I'll be looking to fly 'Y' in Emirates wherever possible in future !!!

Only ~ 10 of the 100+ A330 operators use 3-3-3. I don't expect it to become popular.

I hope XWB is right, since 9-abreast in an A330 is worse than 10-abreast in a 777 or 9-abreast in a 787.
