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.
I find the tray table to be a very poor design and especially flimsy considering all the thought that went into the seat. Not surprised to see them falling apart. Why they wouldn’t have just build it out from the side panel like the old suite is a head scratcher.
