But at least this time I'll be more prepared and have a general idea of what I'll be getting, having sat on it before on the 74A.
Just did HKG-JFK-HKG on a 77A in J and F. This was also first time I did long haul in the new J (lots of prior trips in new F). I have to say, it is not bad at all. It is not perfect, I would take it over the old seat 100% of the time, and could see myself preferring it even to old F seat (better IFE basically. I love the new IFE system and screen). I had previously avoided new J on long haul flights and either flown F on the new planes, or explored other airlines, but now can see myself doing CX long haul more in J and less in F.
(As I was reminded today, the CX F food is basically crap right now. Even the jasmine tea tasted like they had downgraded from what they were previously serving. I have had better food on SQ in J on regional flights.)
