SeatGuru shows 31 inch pitch and 17 inch seat width in Economy. That's tough to bear for the relatively short LHR-JFK flights. No way could I endure that for a 12+ hour flight.

Condor has been operating that type into/out of LAS for several years already! SAN would add about another 40 minutes tops...........
