I recently flew with Virgin Atlantic (Airbus Industrie A340-600) from Heathrow to Hong Kong and back. To say it was the most uncomfortable trip I have ever had is an understatement. It was the first and last time I will use Virgin. I am of average height and size and my knees were touching the seat in front. I ended up with sore knees and hips. I have to make the same trip later this year and I wonder can anyone recommend a more comfortable airline . Budget restraints require me to fly economy class. While in China, I took a number of flights using Chinese domestic airlines and in each case there was greater leg room.
