Over the years, the airlines _have_ reduced seat pitch, and as you can see from the 747 illustration, added an additional seat in the middle section as well.
- mjg59 6y agoThe layout in the picture seems to be 3-4-3, which pretty typical for 747s - I don't think anyone does 3-5-3.
- HanShotFirst 6y agoI recently (a few years ago) flew transatlantic on a 3-5-3 747 (Delta).
- dlgeek 6y agoI did a quick look through every 747 layout listed at https://www.seatguru.com/charts/longhaul_economy.php https://www.seatguru.com/charts/longhaul_economy.php I don't see any 3-5-3s - everyone was a 3-4-3. If anyone was doing it, they've since retired the plane/layout.
- mjg59 6y agoIn recent history, Delta only flew 747s between 2009 and 2018 (they were originally Northwest planes, acquired in the merger). I can't find any evidence that any of them ever had 3-5-3 seating.
- ldng 6y agoThat is why I used the verb feel. Now, at least in short-medium range Airbus, my sore ass really believe that more than the pitch has been reduced ! ;-)
