I hear about 10 747's have been modified already and about 5 MD 11's ((will try to get the registrations from a friend at KL).
On the 747 row 18 on the zone between door 1L and 2L has been removed.
Has anyone noticed any difference?

Many corporate fare deals are heavily discounted and book into S and B class anyway so I am assuming there is no charge involved?
Luckily at my company we book in Business cabin for flights longer than 7 hours (used to be 5 hours, they recently adjusted it ) but I've seen only S and B booking classes for those times that I flew in Y.
The only gripe is that my company books "last minute" and then it's not sure if there are still seats left.

Still I think it's a good deal that Plat's get it for free, better than nothing although I can relate to the "travel companion" issue mentioned by other posters.
