It was definitely the best overall flight I've taken and I've tried a few First products over the years (CX, BA, UA, EY old). The best bits were the service, spaciousness, food and shower.

I think the downsides did me were, I couldn't sit by the window on take off ( I was in 1H) as I had to be in the main apartment seat. I was also flying 'backwards' which is fine for me but I know some people don't like.

Noise can carry in the cabin, 5 of the 8 seats were occupied by a couple and their 3 kids. Their 6 nannies running up and down the front stairs when the opportunity arose.

The walls are higher than the old ey product so definitely more private.

I had a shower too but it's a little cramped but fun nevertheless (note you need to close the door before the water starts running.. I was a bit confused for a while).

Small things show service such as my iPhone charger wire was rolled up neatly while I was out of the apartment.

I saw the residence lounge, it's smaller than the apartment slightly as its effectively the bench for watching TV and the bedroom was empty.

The storage was a little limited in the apartment. No overheads so it goes under the seat. My standard carry on suitcase poked out a bit

Happy to answer any specific questions if anyone has any
