This is a comfortable plane for European travel. It is now equipped with the thinner NEK (Neue Europa Kabine) seats. For European routes, however, they offer good comfort and leg room. While the pitch is reduced to 30 inches, the clever redesign of the seat allows for tall blokes like me to sit comfortably. Service was crisp yet friendly on board with a hot lunch being served, some tortellini.

The configuration of this aircraft has changed slightly. There is now a version with three more rows in the front economy cabin and two fewer rows in the rear business cabin. The middle seats at the exit row have about 33 inches of pitch, enough to sit comfortably for even a tall guy like myself. Note that the seats in row 25 do not recline. Sadly I fell ill on the flight. The crew were very helpful in helping me find appropriate medication, serving me tea, and checking on me periodically. ...

A torturous seat. The pitch on this plane is not 32 inches in economy, but rather 31. As I was travelling with a group, I was able to change to 44K, which was slightly more comfortable. At least I could sit straight, but was not able to stretch out my legs. Service on board was attentive and friendly. LH flight attendants seem to be trying to shake their reputation of efficient yet frosty.

The plus side is that this is a very comfortable business seat, essentially the same that is used on the 777 for intercontinental flights, so I was quite happy to get it on a domestic route. I was quite tired from my early morning connection from Mexico, so it was great to be able to sleep for an hour or so. On the downside, there is no AVOD. I have to agree with the other comments on this aircraft: it needs a total revamping.

I paid for the upgrade to Economy Plus. While the service is the same (read: non-existent), the emergency exit seat is very comfortable. As I am quite tall, it was well worth the expense.

I had a terrible cold the day I had to fly and the business class f/a sprang into action, making sure that I was well hydrated with plenty of tea. She even added ginger from her own private supply. I was very grateful for this extremely attentive service. 1G has no view towards a window whatsoever, but has the advantage of being one of the first seats to be served in flight.

The seats on the old style 767 were a huge disappointment. The placement of the magazine pocket meant that it jutted straight into my legs. During the flight, I went back to the Economy Plus cabin to speak to a friend and found that the leg room was equal to or superior to that in business class with the intrusive magazine pouch. I wouldn't bother with the business/first product on the older 767 in the future and would buy the upgrade to Economy Plus instead. The new intercontinental service...

My favourite seat on the A319. Loads of extra legroom, although if you are shorter you will have trouble accessing the AVOD screen mounted on the bulkhead. Comfortable quilts offered for the overnight flight, although this route has mercifully been changed to a daytime flight.

This seat didn't seem to have much recline and it was a bit noisy being right next to the economy class cabin. The obligatory baby began to wail during taxing, but fortunately settled down after that. The legroom is adequate. No AVOD in the 737 fleet, but several movies were played (very annoyingly for a night flight).
