Agreed, you're definitely front and center in the middle of the bathroom, and staring at yourself in the mirror. Leaves nothing to the imagination!

Thanks so much for reading! We were actually on neither, it was CX 898 which is the first of the day leaving HKG at 10AM and arrives at LAX at 7AM. Schedule is great if you need to be somewhere that day as we were through immigration/customs by 7:15AM.

I'll cut CX some slack since I had already watched 4-5 of the latest movies on the outbound trip on Emirates, so it could have been slim pickings on any airline at that point.

Agree that CX J really is fantastic. I've never taken a long-haul SQ J flight and am interested to see how that compares.
