Seat layout of seatmap is 1-2-1, so this 33E is with New Business class aircraft.

So when will be the "77E"s first service? And to which route?

What's the best seat on the 33E? ;-)

Seriously though, can you see how many J seats there are on the CRS?

ernestnywang

I don't know how "new" your "New" refers to (I'm losing track of how many news there have been and when they became old), but AFAIK both the "current" (Olympius) and the "to-be-introduced" J have 1-2-1 layout.

Now, you could see the new seat configuration on the web of CX.

Row11 : A D G K
Row12 : A D G
Row14 : A D G K
Row15 : A D G K
Row16 : A D G K
Row17 : A D G K
Row18 : A D G K
Row19 : A D G
Row20 : A D G K
Row21 : A D G K

33E : J = 38 seats

I think 1st flight will be CX101(HKG-SYD) on 01Mar.

Seat map is as follows, 1-2-1 with 10 rows. 12K is may blocked for crew rest.

11A 11D 11G 11K
12A 12D 12G //
14A 14D 14G 14K
15A 15D 15G 15K
16A 16D 16G 16K
17A 17D 17G 17K
18A 18D 18G 18K
19A 19D 19G //
20A 20D 20G 20K
21A 21D 21G 21K

I think this 33E is with "to-be-introduced" J seat.
Because "current (Olympius)" J seat is 1-1-1 lay-out on A330/A340.

sxc

Current capacity is 41 so assuming a seat is blocked for crew, capacity dropped by 2. Not too bad.

I guess the economy seat map doesn't show any clues for premium economy?

Rejuvenated

And where did you get the information that the configuration of the 77W with the new J is the 77E?

I so much hope CX just follow industrial standard to call their 777-300ER 77W to avoid confusion

dai0906

Economy class is same seat lay-out as of 33B.
And no Premium Eonomy seats are exsit.

Oh, right! Sorry for being mistaken.
