Can't see the need of fully flat bed on any flights shorter than 5 or 6 hours anyway.
If you keep doing those ~4 hrs red-eyes from the Subcontinent, you might say otherwise...
I've had more than a few South Asians who told me KA stinks on those flights and they go out of the way to avoid them.

The cradle position on those seats was very comfortable IMHO, and a refresh of the upholstery, trim, and IFE system would make the seat quite appealing.
This Seat!


Come to think of it, that seat was pretty comfy for that time period.
Rolling Tape IFE except

If CX were to go for a modern day Barcalounger, then then the most logical seat would be the one Malindo uses.



Manual Adjustment, IFE, Seat Power

But then I would want to see Malindo prices and not Cathay prices.

Otherwise, why isn't one flying with OD then...
Plus who is CX competing with?
Hopefully not OD
