    That's first class, and so the seats ARE (and were) wider up there. I flew BOAC (British Overseas Airway Corporation) a couple of times back in the 1960's but never saw service like that. The few times I was lucky enough to be upgraded to First Class (mostly, if not always on TWA, or Pan Am), again, I never saw service like that.
