Just had a look at the EK website and was not at all impressed with the new refurbished 773 F and J seating. F looks very mechanical and not at all aesthetically appealing esp for long haul flying, too cluttered. As for J seating EK has gone retro! Back to the old style seating! Considering the A345 seating I would have at least expected modern era seating for refubed AC espcially for a wealthy airline such as EK!
If they use those 773's for the SYD via BKK route, GF will prob have the upper hand with its new refurbed A340's. If they use the old 777's GF will DEF have it, esp with skychef, user friendly BAH airport, and new IFE.
Bit of a let down I'd have to say especially when a new product by EK has always impressed.
