SWISS Trades Legroom for Privacy - Worth It?

So, SWISS has decided to mix things up a bit by sacrificing some legroom in favor of more personal space in their premium economy class. They believe that a bit of privacy is worth the trade-off, even if it means a tighter squeeze for your legs. I guess it depends on what you value more on a flight - stretching out or not having someone right in your face.

The interesting part is that while SWISS is going this route, other airlines aren't jumping on the bandwagon. Makes you wonder why they think it's worth it while others don't. Maybe they're onto something, or maybe it'll just be a quirky experiment that doesn't catch on.

Curious to see how these seats actually work in practice. More private, but at what cost? Will passengers feel cramped, or will they appreciate the extra space between them and their neighbors?

Do you guys think this could be the future of premium economy seating? Or just a one-off thing that won't stick around? Would you personally prefer more privacy over legroom on a long flight? Let me know what you think!

I think it really depends on the length of the flight and personal preference. For a short flight, I might not mind the tighter legroom if I get some extra privacy. But on a long haul, I want to stretch out and be comfortable. I flew SWISS a couple of years ago, and they usually do a good job balancing comfort and service. Curious to see if this change holds up in practice. Anyone know how much legroom they actually cut?
