I just flew AF (A330) and despite all the empty first class seats, I sat in coach, as is policy w/them. I did have a nice seat row 4. Plenty of leg room (no bulkhead wall) but that darned heavy curtain hanging around my legs was annoying. Hey, what do I want for $42? Hardly, long-haul--my flt was 1 1/2 hrs. I think the longest haul was around CDG getting to a gate.
