But the IFE question aside - it's still not true to say that this refurb is to the same standard as the Super-hi J planes.
They may have had a deep clean and it's possible that CW seat covers are new, but otherwise the CW cabin still looks far more tired than those 744s that have been fully spruced up. The lighting has not been updated and the rest of the seat 'hardware' was tatty in places where I was sat. Having flown out to SFO on a super-hi J (CIVW) just a few days before experiencing the 'refurbished' CIVM, there is still a pronounced gulf between the two finishes.
