20dg seats have brocken extention flaps and laminate peels off badly consider aug delivred for lrb
for lrj even worse as 16d has broken extentiin flaps and 16g arm rest rattels when kn up position and stuck in the base when near down position.
cathay try to use silicon to cover or solve the issue of peeling off laminate but obvious just make the fitting looks even cheaper
anyway, great aircraft and interio design ruined by the fitting quality
On both my A350 flights this week:
- SIN-HKG 14A had broken extension flap and the covering of the connector between the seat and arm rest came off
- HKG-SIN 12G also had the covering of the connector periodically coming off, and the arm rest would not raise! Mentioned this to the ISD and she apologetically admitted that "this is a common problem, and only on the A350".
Such modern plane, modern cabin, modern entertainment... to be let down by unfunctioning fixtures.
