With a table design, I'd feel I was encroaching on somebody else's space if there was already one person there.
I assume the storage space behind the current seats is being removed to allow for the tables?
Looking at the promotional photos/vid, I can see exactly what you mean re the new window seating layout ; and would agree totally. Maybe it's been designed by a speed dating club ...??
And do we REALLY need the massive TV ....? This introduces an element of
noisy city centre pub with Sky Sport blaring out rather than understated luxury. Surely we can happily survive the flight without the need for a TV screen in every single part of the aircraft .....?
More positively, the change of decor & colours does look welcome. But overall I'm not convinced that the revamp is all to the good.
