Cabin
The new cabin is very stylish and “elegant” is the main theme here. Blue and purple are the main colors used, and the cabin combines the right amount of natural and mood lighting. It is not too bright nor too dark. The color does not need a completely dark cabin to enhance it.








Seat
It is obvious that British Airways want to maintain a relatively high-density first class cabin, so British Airways does not follow the newer trend of a completely enclosed suite. However I feel the seat maintains some degrees of privacy especially compared to the older BA seats. The padding is sufficient and the seats are very comfortable in recline and full flat position. The one thing that is interesting that the seats do not have an attached legrest. The neighbor seat is doubled as a footrest that can be lowered towards the floor. As you will notice that the seat control is now adjusted according to a dial system, which is very unique. You just turn the dial to your desire position. There is a takeoff/landing seating and a full flat bed position. There is a small personal lamp on the side, which functions like a night light. Storage spaces are a bit strange, but there is a small closet for jacket and shoes. There is also a small literature pocket, but in general the side table is really your main storage space for small items.

Recommended seats – I actually recommend the seats on the “A” side. On the Boeing 777, the galley is right in front of 1F and 1K, and the F/As really congregated at that area. There is lots of traffic throughout the flight in the K side. Therefore I considered the “A” seats are quieter.








Leg rest – can be raised and lowered – can also be used as neighbor seat
