you know what...finally had a chance to try new J together with my wife this past weekend (we always had old/new F or old J before) - and because of the special situation this time it's quite a great experience (otherwise both me and my wife don't like the new J).

we had 2 seats next to each other in the upper deck (e.g. 88/89A), and, we were the ONLY TWO people in the whole upper deck !! so while we couldn't quite see each other too easily (without climbing up a bit), but at least we could talk as loud as we wanted etc. and we were served by 3 full-time cabin crew serving the upper deck...

well it's just HKG-MNL and it's a weekend, but I was really quite surprised at this load situation in J...
