This shocked me a bit as I'd never seen it before, and that it kind of goes against having the privacy of a suite.
So I have 4 questions for any EK insiders:
1. What is it for?
2. Who has access to the output?
3. Is it recorded?
4. What can be seen via the camera, is it looking into the central suites or over the top of them?
Thanks
Yes I've noticed that before, and didn't really think much about it as it's probably for security reasons.
It should have an overview of the cabin, and not look into the suites.
I'll ask the purser next time.
As a personal side remark, there is no total privacy in the current EK F suites : just walk in the aisle (depending on your height
). The concept of privacy is that fewer persons will see your wake-up face
Fortunately, sir Tim is talking about a train-cabin style for new F (with doors getting higher). Even so, for security reasons, don't expect suites to be fully closed. A/C seats are not a privatized space (contrary to hotel rooms).
