By the way, I would not go out of my way for that new lounge / bar, part of it resembles a railway carriage, certainly not an improvement. I found the WiFi to be much better than on the older 380’s, similar to what I usually get on the 77W. Normally the WiFi on the 380 ‘sucks’.

I agree it is certainly not worth hunting down but I quite like the addition of the table - an empty wine glass sat on the table seems to get filled up without you having to move, however, an empty glass in your hand means you have to get up and walk the the whole 3 metres back to the bar!
