GUEST56126	It's probably quite an experience! I hope they don't pack passangers like sardines in coach. I flew CZ B777 for the first time in Sept. It was also my last time. They packed 10 seats across, while other airlines sit 9 across. What's the difference? about 30 additional paying customers for the airlines and tighter seats for about 120 passengers.
