They said so yes, but in J. Perhaps they are using any left over stock in comfort?

Then they might rewrite their economy advertising into "environmental comfort class"

(hey, I do care for environment, but I think the paper kit only saves AY money nothing more...) OT

In august AY officially said: "Business Class will also soon include a new amenity kit with high-quality brand products.
I guess their take on soon is different than the rest of the world. I thought that meant at least at the same time comfort was launched.

Not holding my breath, but I will check on monday when my next LH is.

Does someone already have experience in Eco Comfort of the famous French queens (OH-LQF & OH-LQG)? Is the front row 21 legroom restricted because of the bulkhead or can you stretch your legs like in A330 row 21 that don't have a bulkhead in front of them?

Just trying to think which Eco comfort seats are the best in these planes for our January trip. Or are economy row 41 seats even better than the eco comfort seats? Almost all seats are available at the moment.

I was on LQG's Economy Comfort yesterday. Row 21 looked like just normal legspace. I had 22H and there was unlimited space due to 3 seats in the middle on 21.

But it looked like row 22-25 had good legroom.

And my IFE worked! I could even watch one episode of Person Of Interest without problems. First try gave me notice "Not available now" but second one lasted all that 50 minutes.

Thanks OH-LGG!

On our daytime return flight all the A/C & J/L seat pairs are taken, so at the moment we have to decide between 21D/E or 23D/E. I am 185cm and just thinking if the legroom in Row 21 is good enough or should we seat in 23D/E...

OWS Benefits

Does OW Sapphire get free Y+ access when traveling on an award ticket? Do they also allow non-status pax on the same PNR as OWS free access, same as AA?
