No, most seem to have three. Especially those smaller aircraft used by
people like Easyjet, that only have one aisle.

Naturally you know better than other folks what planes they have travelled
by. It is very typical to have only two adjacent seats.

What is this babble about ? Nobody has said *anything* whatsoever on *your*
experiences. Furthermore, I have not accused anyone being "wrong" on
something.

If possible, reduced mobility people should be booked at a bulkhead
to give them a better fighting chance in case of emergency exit.
(Though I do like the idea of door-mounted ejection seats.)

I'm in that group. At the bulkheads, too. (All of them are not
full of children, regardless of how it seems).

Though I do think the some airlines (e.g. Virgin) could profit
from the new A380 by designing a special compartment for families,
with either additional bulkheads or special seat configurations
that allow two seats on either side of a bassinet/reduced width
seat (for larger children). They could easily charge 50% of a
seat fee for that arrangement, nab a lot of market share, and
advertise quieter economy for the rest of the plane.

You have clearly read the book "Tom Jones"
Besides .... it is "easyJet"

Get over yourself, Markku. The subject, and the initial issue, states
explicitly which airline was concerned.

You'll find that it is quite atypical (measured across the fleet) to
have only two adjacent seats on British Airways aircraft. The
situations where this is so are in Club Europe (business class, and
one side only), B767s, 3 rows at the back of the B747, World traveler
Plus on 777 and 747 (5 and 3 rows, respectively), and Club World.

Or to put it another, simpler, way: unless you've paid extra or been
upgraded, on BA the only big jet aircraft which have only two adjacent
seats are the 21 B767s and the last three rows of the 57 B747s. And
none of the 120-odd narrow bodies.

Neither of the two was an argument in that part of the thread in which I was
involved.

Look at the subject line, laddie.

It was not an argument as it so typically is not. The subject line can
suggest whatever.
