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.
I too am worried about the tables discouraging people from "making friends" and feel more awkward about sitting at a table if only occupied by even one person. At least they kept one side in the open bench concept which is where I like to sit with my drink and look out the window and still have the option to strike up a conversation.
Don't think the they will keep the volume that high as cabin crew are well aware of the noise from the bar disturbing the mini cabin and have heard the bartender asking people to keep it down.
I do love the new colors. Never been a fan of gold so the new chrome/silver finishes are definitely more my taste as is the new faux wood.
