If the aircraft looks nice from outside, the seating arrangement might be another story: this is indeed the first A350 with a 3-4-3 configuration in Economy (vs a 3-3-3 standard for all other airlines). Since the cabin of the A350 is narrower than that of the Boeing 777, it will be even more uncomfortable than the despised 10-across seating of its American counterpart.
