Thanks. I only decided to write the TR after the flight so I hadn't taken any pictures but you're right that photos would have been better.

All but one of the A343s have IFE that was installed in the mid-90s so it is rather old but the A346s have AVOD and the A333s have an even newer AVOD system.

Agreed - the afternoon tea service is probably designed more for its English tradition rather than providing a substantial second service. I still like it though and find it perfectly adequate.

I came away with pretty much the same impression as the OP. I even had the beet dish for lunch.

Thanks for that link - I like your description of the suites as a "your own little womb".

Looks like I just missed you on the IAD-LHR leg.
