Good to know, thank you!

Good point! Thanks for the headsup

OK, thank you. We have a 3hr transit. This should give us time to enjoy the T3 lounges

That said, I have seen comments here that the deep clean is separate from the refurbishment, so they may be a deep cleaned, unrefurbished 747 out there.
Hopefully they stock kleenex napkins on the flight if it's not been deep-cleaned yet.

OK, thank you. I think we'll pass.
