Not only the first ever flight to MNL for Refreshed F. It looks like you were on the very first commercial flight of B-KQG. Lucky you!

The shell is really nice, flooring is better with the dark burgundy but the seat color might be an issue- lighter than the old one so stains show more easily (mine already had splash marks...).
Lavs were not really much different except for the wood panels. They also changed the sink to a rectangular one. They should be expecting more spillage from this as its smaller and shallower than the old round ones.
Bose headseats are now handed out instead of being inseat and outlets are now located outside the headset cubby. Best addition though are the touchscreen seat controls and the connectivity options (now as extensive as J seats).
All in all a very nice but subtle refresh.
If only they didnt leave my luggage in HKG....
