Just wondered if anyone knew the seat width on the 744 Config 1 aircraft. I know in the "Purple" PE seats its 21inches but just checking what it is on these older aircraft.

I have flown before on them and seem to think its less than 21inches but interested as I could be on the VS73 instead of VS75 on Friday!!!

Thanks

Thanks Tinks, it does say that on Seat Guru, Seatplans and what else I can find on the web but I seem to think they were 18.5inches. It certainly is an older seat which the new PE seats replaced so I just don't think it can be 21....

Business traveller's airline guide 2011 states 17.5-19inches!!

Oh what a bother..... :D

All this because I went into my booking today to check the seats and found I was on VS73 instead of the VS75, FC are trying to see what happened except VS75 is full now and my original seat lost!! I guess on VS73 I have a chance of an upgrade to UC.... ):

No matter what the size, I found the PE seat in the bubble upstairs to be very comfortable; and of course you have the ambience of the bubble.

Indeed, have really liked the bubble when I travelled in it on previous flights. Having enjoyed the new PE seats over the last year or so from LHR, I was sure the old seats were a bit smaller though agree the bubble is a great cabin all on its own.
