I went today. The queue for the Aria was long; even at 1900 it took nearly 50minutes to get "in". There are two seats, one is "full" with the door and tv turned on, the door has about 1ft gap at the bottom. The front seat misses some of those features as it is a middle set rather than the bulkhead version. If you try the front seat, the queue is shorter and you can use a Meta Quest 3 to get a VR view.

The overall space is fairly large, with good shelving and what feels like a sturdier and larger table, but the foot well does feel smaller, and perhaps it's overall a little shorter. I could feel the end, I don't recall that from the current offering. The cabin-crew uniformed staff explained that the seat level is lower so that you feel more cocooned inside your space; but the screen doesn't tilt, so it's a bit difficult for your neck to watch tv whilst lying down - you'll need to incline slightly. There is a small storage cupboard that you might want to put shoes, but that's unlikely to work; it's too small. The current one is bigger?

After taking a photo and uploading to social media; you can "redeem" the boarding pass with discount code and tonight was a Chengdu tote bag.

No queue to test PE!
