The following are facts. (Sorry, no pics).

Same exact seat, folks. Just an extra couple of inches of legroom and it reclines back just a tad more. Nothing like BA's WT+. Supposedly these pax also get a nicer pillow and blanket - but that I didn't witness.

The agent told me that status (TP, PL, etc.) pax travelling in Y will get put into Y+ fro free. Everybody else will pay - unclear how much as of now. He said the new Y+ will have no impact on the current upgrade system where a status pax travelling on Y/S/M either uses a 700/550 point voucher or gets the last-minute 100 point upgrade to C.
Quite dissapointing in my opinion. oh well. Rome wasn't built in a day, LY won't go from utilitarian to enjoyable airline to fly with overnight.
