Air New Zealand 767. 35" seat pitch.
My Travel 763. 28" seat pitch.
Without knowing the distance of the sectors operated by these a/c, it is not really possible to make a comparison. Some 74's do very short hops.
I am fortunate in being an average short ar$e and not bothered by most seating. If travelling long haul, I can reccomend VS Premium Economy. Yes, it is more expensive but Yes it is more better!! The price is not as great as for Upper Class. If you have any kind of FFM scheme with those that have the PE/WT+/etc type of cabin, then buying a standard Y ticket and upgrading with FFMs is the cheapest way to get there. I gather that SAS also have this category of cabin but have not done long haul with them.
It will be interesting to see if AA do cut back on their Y seating pitch as it is a USP and one friend now only travels AA because of this. If they
do cut back to standard pitches, then I think that any chance of a general revision in the Y-cabin product, that DW1 thinks is in the air [sorry!] would then be out for another seven years or so.
