Is the HD J seat the same as the Swiss 777HD seat? Is this the same seat that's in the Swiss A330/340, or does it just look similar? Swiss J seems to get good reviews, so I'm wondering if the same seat is disliked in liked/disliked depending on market, or if the seat has been changed and feels worse in the 777? (The Swiss 777 won't fly until later this year I believe, so no one really knows how comfortable it'll be, but it looks the same as what their Airbuses have, and the same as AC.)

2 weeks ago I got my last rides on the HD. One red-eye to YYZ and one 7pm flight to YVR.
Red-Eye in 1C and Night flight in 2A. While it was a bit nostalgic knowing they are leaving.......... I did not shead a tear.

I just love it when I finally got the approval to get J rewards.... all dates with reasonable transfer time just instantly evaporated into the air under a hour.
Its gonna be fun... 28 hours total in the HD beast.

If J0 on the day then I am kind of royally screwed with 5 more hours at YVR then Y all the way to YYZ.
Also I can not find specific how much SDC would cost other than "A Fee May Apply"
Landing at 1AM in Pearson is not exactly an option. I had thought about doing it with a 90 Mins connection at YVR and when I finally decided to pull the trigger, all are gone LOL.

Yeah.. may no longer be worth it with another $100 on top of the $290 YQ+ Taxes
Also the idea of flying J doesn't feel exactly comfortable for a 2nd year student. :P
Maybe when I graduate I will go all out on a J RTW, assuming its still allowed by then lol.

Looking at the seatmap for an upcoming flight on HKG-YVR and it seems the aircraft type has been changed to 1-2-1 for Business and no longer uses the high density config. Can anyone confirm?
PE also not on sale and seat 7 business class is after the exit row?

The foot area could certainly be larger, but I have not had any knee issues on any AC configuration, including the old HD.
