CX Mortuary Class is dead. Long love CX Business Class
On first impression, the new CX seat looks very well conceived and carefully detailed. This is where comparisons between it and the US Envoy seat ends. The Envoy seat was conceived from a school of thought where hard plastic predominates and incongruous surface mounted patch panels (with visible fixings) are deemed acceptable. The US seat is a Chevy Matiz to CX's Cadillac DTS.

The new seat is a very welcome addition to the
oneworld offering and marks the end of those wretched herringbone cabins, at least within the
oneworld stable.
