I am surprised that London Transport do not issue Gold and GGL cards. Think of the fuss and complaints possible on an LT thread............

But back on topic. Have I understood this correctly? All this fuss about new seats, in J, and yet only 4 planes will have them by the end of next year???? Or am I being dense??

Sure I knew about the lack of F in the new A350 before this announcement. No idea where I knew it from though. 🤔

Well it appears to be launching in July 2019 on the first A350.

So anything between now and then

Which means it is the Iberia seat they will use, I guess.

I actually like CW the limited times I’ve had privilege to fly it. Let’s see what the future holds.

IMO better than the current seat + retractable stool featured in CW but it's very personal indeed. For me, direct aisle access is very, very important so I would say anything that gives me that is an enhancement to the current seat.

I'm hoping this does not mean the plastic wall and associated foot coffin that I fear but very much suspect that it will.

If it is the Diamond seat, they best have better privacy than QR offers or we will have residents up in arms (many who previously raved about QR I suspect!)

I like it very much but Prospero had problems with his size 13 plates of meat if I recall. I'm only a size 10.

Wouldn't bet on it.

(there's at least half a dozen producers/seat types that have non-movable IFE screen besides Stelia/Sogerma).

Slightly worried about the foot coffin. Would definitely mess with my ability to sleep as I move a LOT.
