Virgin to Cape Town
I flew To Cape Town last year and found my middle seat adequately comfortable and as spacious as we cattle can expect. My husband was in the window seat and arrived with a significant pain in the leg, having suffered the entertainment box taking up half his foot-space.
Who designs THAT sort of feature? We thought it was an isolated case - SA not being a prime destination - but then encountered the same problem on the flight to IAD this year.
In principle, I much prefer the Airbus 2-seat layout to the 747 3-seat; there are two of us and it's nicer not to share or little fragment of space with a stranger. but that dam' box ruins it and I will be very reluctant to set foot on another Airbus until they get that "little" detail sorted.
