New First seat: First Review
The secret place:
http://www.businesstraveller.com/fil...e-entrance.jpg EDIT: Overview of seat in bed mode - it certainly looks more spacious. Whether that's camera angle I don't know, but it must be helped by the now recessed arms. http://www.businesstraveller.com/fil...dy-for-bed.jpg And the other pics: http://www.businesstraveller.com/fil...ween-seats.jpg http://www.businesstraveller.com/fil...wardrobe-1.jpg http://www.businesstraveller.com/news/ba-first is the teaser article. The main one is: http://www.businesstraveller.com/new...-airways-first You have to register, but it's free. I notice there's no Krug on the table! But, the wardrobe is a nice addition, hopefully this will stop us pestering crew and give those in 1A/K a bit more privacy. Apparently the table flips up and back with the touch of a button - hopefully no one accidently knocks it mid-meal. Overall, it looks like quite a nice futuristic swish design! But, as everyone says it is more of an evolution, than revolution. |
Nice soothing lighting and the champagne looks tasty. I can't wait!:)

Looks good to me, and picture in picture to watch the skymap someone has listened^
|
Is the light for the seat mounted on top of the champagne bottle? BA seem to have a thing for putting lights on top of unconventional objects ;)
|
Personally I like the look they've gone for. Classic and understated. But I'm not a fan of all the bling.

BT have just posted the seat width....
Upright it's the same width, but reclined it is wider - going from 19 inches up to 32 inches because of the side arms reclining (although, admittedly, I can't recall what currently happens with the arms in First). |

Agree - the back of the seats looks similar to the material used in CX F. The wardrobe looks a little cheap - an interiro light would have given it a more lux finish. Can't wait to try it out |
Do we know if there is still a buddy seat?

Now, if BA would have First on GIG-LHR I'd try this in a flash. Anything to avoid the close contact and poor storage of the current CW solution!
|
I wasn't aware all the B777 aircrafts will have the new First cabin before any of the B747-400*
747 might not see new First until 2011! Glad I'm booked on a 777 now ^ According to: http://www.businesstraveller.com/news/ba-first |
Some more pics here - BA's official images

Not sure I like. The window looks like a gimmick and the cabin appears very stark, more so than Club. Like the additional width when sleeping (current arm rests are fixed) though I hope the armrest recline isn't linked to the seat recline as it is with NGCW.
I'll have a thorough poke around in March (or earlier if the op-up gods smile on me). |
