That will, for yours truly, again be a meaningful differentiator. I can't stand having to hop over peoples' legs in the middle of the night. And neither do I like the dynamic of the screen being continually raised and lowered during meal / drinks service. I almost always go for a window seat so however annoying it is for me, must be worse for the aisle person. So 100% asile access and presumably a full seat redesign that would need to accompany it, would I think be a welcome if a tad overdue step from BA.
I assume even BA insiders haven't had sight of that seat design yet?? Or have they??
Cmon - tease us...

I actually like the CW seat quite a lot. Im a side sleeper so I detest the small foot boxes on a lot of herringbone configurations.
CW food is not the best, but Ive never been horrified, or found it inedible. For me Austrian have the best food of any business class, the on-board chef is superb. For airlines without a chef EI do a great job and I really like the service style, the seat is pretty good too.
CW could be better but is often very competitive on price and schedule.

I have a return in mid October JFK-LHR-JFK. I'm booked in CW with 64K selected both ways. Both are day flights. I have spare jokers and a GUF to use so planned to upgrade to F at no cost but now I'm torn. Try the new CW or upgrade. What would you do?

The new bedding definitely WON'T be appearing 1SEP. During the most recent inflight trials the colour of the duvet was found to cause a health and safety issue when on the floor in the dark. Apparently you can not see it and it could create a trip hazzard. The colour will be changed and the sleep product launched later in Sept.

Yes I knew about the bedding changing colour and the reason but we were assured by our fleet manager that everything was on time and that is the lastest information we have.
Now, that not to say that tomorrow they will tell us something different, working for BA you expect the unexpected.

and wouldn't that be quite visible? More so than the current offering anyways.

How about they have them colour-co-ordinated to your BAEC status ;-)
