Cathay Seat Pitch

Anybody happen to know the seat pitch in economy on the 4 dual-class A330's? (HLJ,HLK,LAA,LAB). Thought Cathay used 32" but these seemed a lot less.
The term battery hens springs to mind.

Couldn't agree more. They advertise it as 32", but the seat design is atrocious and doesn't leave much leg room. Unless of course you happen to be a pygmy.

Did you buy your ticket based on the seat pitch or because it was the cheapest option to get you to your detination?

Now, about your comments on the seat pitch.......

We're talking about Cathay here. It obviously wasn't the latter.

I guess they gotta pay for those ridiculous housing allowances somehow.

what??

It's not the housing allowance that is ridiculous, it's the price of renting a decent apartment up to average western standards that is ridiculous.?

jesus where do these people come from?
