I understand the obsession with this suite, but as someone that has flown it on both 2 hour flights to RUH and 14 hours flights, I can tell you the product is aging terribly. Frequent issues with the lighting, traytables falling apart, issues with the IFE, etc. I had these issues even in 2021. I understand the obsession purely from a rarity standpoint but they are going to increasingly have issues with them.
I fly EK F exclusively 10-20 segments a year and have for 15+ years, and I have never had the issues with the original suites that ive seen/had with the new ones. Even FAs have commented they have noticed the same.
