Except that at least LX and TK do, possibly other airlines too.

I meant from NA.

I meant from NA.

Well, they fly from NA to their respective hubs. IINM LX is A330, TK might have some A330 and some B777. And since we're talking connections, I didn't check which other airlines fly A330 between NA and Europe, but I wouldn't hold my expectations high on this, I'll just stick to J for those routes.

These long haul flights being planned are where I see this being realistic & valuable.

Makes sense. They need to reduce weight on those flights in order to be able to make them non-stop, and then OTOH it's a really long flight by any standard to be cramped into an economy seat. But then again, the really long non-stops won't probably fly A330 more like A350 or B787

If they are putting an exercise area does that mean there will be a shower too?

Delta and Air Transat both do.

How would they load? They put you in a container and tow it in?
What happens in an emergency?
I assume there's no service. BYOK?
