BR elite is indeed less attractive than their previous Evergreen Deluxe. Now even flying JFK-TPE, I'd rather go for emergency exits in Y than in PE.

I always assume CX PE to be similar to BR elite. At least from the PR photos released online, hard products look not much different. But with J class entree? now I am really attempted to give it a try!

I've seen some changes after junior Chang came back to the management. He seems to have a slightly better aesthetic taste.
(maybe only except for the unnecessarily flashy design in their new TPE lounges...)
