Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/06/06 for Seat 25c

Seat is fine; bit cramped but overall not bad. Cushion is lacking.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/11/08 for Seat 28A

It was very crammed but okay to endure for 4 hours. People in economy drink way too much and restricted the flight crew from serving meals. flight back on the airbus was way better despite having 6 infants around us.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2015/09/23 for Seat 31F

I found that the seats in the back two rows are slightly narrower than the rest of the Economy Class seats.

Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2013/04/14 for Seat Negative

This is the worst seating I have seen for a business class cabin. 32 seats cramped into a Boeing 737 with 1 toilet; seats up so close that when someone reclines, your meal is served right up to you if you know what I mean. Very disappointing - looks more like a premium economy than Business; crew were great but were exhausted due to the cramped style, narrow alley, constant movement of passengers, trolleys, trays, wow, what a bazar for four hours!
