A new wrinkle
In Nov '15 I booked 2 business class seats for a trip in June '16 from JFK-DUB-JFK when the plane was scheduled to be an Airbus 330. Did so because the business class seats were lie flat on that aircraft. Just got an email from EI that the aircraft will now be a Boeing 757 with no wifi. Does anyone know if the seats will be lie flat or angled lie flat? Hoping it's not the latter.

The 757 refit with the new business class lie flat seat is expected to be completed by May of 2016. No wifi on these though.

The 757 fleet is not yet fully converted; we have a long - running thread on the new seats which is rarely off the first page here:

I'm looking forward to the pictures and hearing about the experience. I'll be flying business on one of the 757s in June.

The second 757 has completed its refit. EI-LBT and EI-LBS now have the new business class.
