i'd be grateful if someone flying on this type could please check if seat 21A has window(s) ?

i am thinking that's the best J seat in the cabin ...
(a) has a flat credenza behind for some extra storage
(b) assuming inter-cabin traffic goes on the right side, the only traffic going that far down the left side of the J cabin would be mine
(c) furthest away from J bassinet
(d) good distance away from Y toilets

21A share the asile with center row. The Ks have more privacy. Row 21 is next to Economy Galley.

The window will be behind you. You can't see much from it anyways.

Unfortunately i am the bearer of some bad news...

According to Carfield's Trip Report album here (http://share.shutterfly.com/share/received/album.sfly?sid=8QbNHDNy5bqNkg&startIndex=0&fid=ac46eee5257afb50) - more specifically this picture here (http://share.shutterfly.com/share/received/detail.sfly?sid=8QbNHDNy5bqNkg&imageIndex=6&fid=ac46eee5257afb50) - 21A does not have a flat credenza or a window. Although, it seems there is a tiny space behind the magazine rack but it doesn't look like it can hold very many items.

this is exactly what i wanted to see, thank you !

i knew the back row in J had now windows on the A333, but that's also the case on the A343.

thank you again !

wait hold on a second, is that aircraft a 333 or a 343 ? i can't remember which one got the new OW livery, but from CX's schedule, HKG-BNE is operated by a 33B.

B-HLU, the A330, has regional business class.
B-HXG, the A340, has the new long-haul business class.

Mind you, Carfield posted this trip report here on flyertalk in May so the schedule has probably changed since then.
