Yes, seems obvious enough to me that it will be more cramped than before. My trip back froom JFK next Saturday should be a fairly good acid test of whether they have gone too far, given that I have, ahem, fairly broad shoulders.
Having only been in Gatwick planes in upper, the front cabin in the new airbus looks very cramped with not a lot of space between any of the suites.
The whole cabin looks very much like row 6 or 7 in the lgw fleet. Are the A340-600's as tight as the A330's ?
Thanks
