A few quick thoughts. The new seats are generally nice. They're new!
The reduced recline over the Virgin America deep recliners is very noticeable. Likewise the reduced legroom is very noticeable with the new third row.
The bulkhead seats for Row 1 are now my least preferred seats in the first class cabin, as they lack the footrests found in Row 2 and Row 3 and also lack underseat storage.
The cabin divider is at least nicer to look at than the well-worn Virgin America configuration with chipped away materials.
Other note. Gogo Wifi Internet service on this aircraft was totally out. The Access Point was on, and connectable but always returned server errors throughout both flights.
to be fair, it’s not really accurate to compare the new F cabin to the cabin of VX F class - kinda apples and oranges. More relevant would be a comparison to the current 737 F class. How do you like the new F seat compared to the recliners on the 737s?
how was the new blue mood lighting utilized during the flight? Blue ceilings And walls at the same time? Or white on ceilings with blue walls/ vis-a-versa? Is it just on or off or is their a dim blue/white like on the sky interior?
in reference to the gogo issues, did this preclude streaming the Alaska beyond entertainment?
