Are Narrow Bodies Comfortable for Long Haul Flying?? Gulf Air 321NEO Business Class BAH - FRA

As Airlines are shifting to smaller aircrafts that fly longer with smaller capacity, is flying a Narrowbody long haul comfortable?

Additional Thoughts/Notes: I know I sounded like an asshole with the service, but the flight crew were very kind and attentive. I was actually kinda shocked that I got served a full breakfast with less than 30min till touchdown, I really appreciate it, I just hope the crew doesn't get in trouble for that...

The seat that Gulf Air is pretty appropriate for the aircraft as a 1-1 config isn't that practical profit wise and the traditional Narrowbody business class seat can get get tiresome after a few hours (I've been there before...). I've flown on the exact same seat on United's 789 between SFO and SIN, personally I didn't find it that bad, great experience flying over the middle of the Pacific though!

The lavatory situation is a tricky one. You'd think that one would workout for 16 passengers, but it definitely doesn't work out on a red eye, and everyone is given a pair of pajamas. It doesn't really make sense to add one more as any airlines would rather cramp in more seats. Another thought too; I've not seen on other airlines (maybe Jet Blue) do anything innovative with a Narrowbody lavatory. Small touches go a long way.

A great experience i'd love to do again in the future, thanks for reading!
