Happy to report that Amerigo Vespucci (the 767 I got on on 10/9/06) had the new C seats. Pretty darn good. My IFE didn't work b/c my power port didn't work. I could have hijacked off of my brother (next to me), but decided to sleep. One of seats (all electronic) ate my father's eyeglasses as they had fallen into the seat as he slept and when he awoke to look for them, he could not get them until he moved the seat, and when it did...crunch.

So, I'm not sure if this is a new development or old, but Amerigo Vespucci has new C seats.

I'm in IST now, hope to post a full LCA trip report shortly.
