taking the 773 as a comparison between BA and CX would indicate 24% more room per seat on CX (and it feels even more in my opinion)

Great news that the new bedding is rolling out to EWR and BOS over the next week. I'd guess this will move significantly faster than the catering.

Thanks for the update.
It still seems incredible that this is being rolled out so slowly, and in piecemeal fashion, and favouring the short TATL sectors instead of the more substantial (9-12 hour) ones. Do you have any clues as to why this seems to be so difficult to implement fleet-wide?

^With an 11h45m night sector from LGW next Saturday, the new bedding would have been appreciated. I don't quite understand why BA feels it necessary to start by equipping the shorter TATL routes ... unless they're pandering to the US market.

What's the bet the last one for it to turn up would be SYD, partially due to difficulties with the two-leg structure.
