Some disappointing features: no outlets? Pitch in F at 42"? So really, the only plus here, despite having a brand spanking new aircraft, is the AVOD.
Perhaps SeatGuru just doesn't have all the info loaded in yet.
Seats are supposed to be wider, too. I was just on a HA flight a couple of weeks ago in F and was asking the purser (who doubles as inflight training supervisor) about the new A330 product. She said it's obviously newer and the seats are more comfortable (not to mention wider), but otherwise a very similar setup in F to the 767. She said the Economy was the area were big improvements were made - better seat design and IFE.
HA's F, IMHO, is the best to the islands from the west coast especially now that Continental has done away with their 767 service from LAX. They offer pretty delicious meal selections and the service itself feels a little more elegant than other mainline carriers. That said, it's obviously not Singapore Airlines (or even Lufthansa
), but for a 5 hour flight is the choice I'd make.
