IFE woeful but I always bring my own.
Cabin very quiet even when nearly full.
Food and drink service flawless and fantastic crew in both directions, one even let me use his wings pin to change my SIM card as I had forgotten the little tool!
Don't let this configuration stop you from thinking you'll enjoy the trip.
As always, YMMV
Coffin seats vary, massively.
I flew Swiss recently and it was atrocious. Even the throne seat I bagged on the way back was small on footspace. Bad design I say. I'm 1.8m.
I don't want a footstool or not having any space. I've rather grown up in business class (on my own funds) on ME3 and mostly on Etihad so the bA experience is / was often poor and now I don't fly them, though they were very good on LHR-LUX last week.
