The air experience for passengers has IMHO decreased, those who have met me at Bashes will confirm that I am a child-sized portion, but a Y seat is too small even for me, it's designed for eight-year-olds. I'll be cramped into one for the two-hour flight EMA-VRN, it's only a bus with wings, but anything outside Europe I want a C seat.
Being a kid on a Viscount vs a none-too-agile adult on a A380? 7-year-old me and me now are looking for different things from the experience.
