MLE, which is generally a couples destination, seems like an odd choice for the new F product.
Having flown the new F product six times now, for sleeping, the old first class seat is definitely better for me. For whatever reason the new seats do not go fully flat and as a side sleeper this isn't great. I also nearly got hit in the face by a projectile Perrier bottle during the take off roll as one of the bar doors was not latched properly...
I've had a couple of fantastic flights in F on the A380 recently - I think it's still the best F product that EK offers.
