New livery, like it or not, is absolutely nothing to get worked up about. I mean when was the last time anybody selected a flight based on it's livery! This is so stupid.
Instead of taking about these seats... and the new interiors... I'm just surprised that people aren't talking about that but instead getting triggered by the colours of the plane's belly.
I'm struggling to find any real differences between the J&F seats and space. Looks like the same type and size just in different colours. And with the wireless charging at the edge of the table... expect lots of devices on the floor and behind the seats. And the more I look at the PE & Y seats the less impressed I am with them. They've even put the earphone socket in the wrong place.
In the event, AI themselves put less focus on seats and cabin upgrades and gave very few details on which aircraft will have F.
10 across in Y on 773's will be painful. The videos didn't show a lot of detail on the PE seats as well. We will have to wait to see what it's like. I'm keen to see what they do with the loyalty program - its a huge opportunity for them and I hope they come up with a great program with multiple transfer partners like SQ, BA etc.
