I have my first Eurotraveller flight on a NEO tomorrow morning. Has someone actually sat in/reviewed the new seat experience? I’m currently in Row 12 (second over wing exit) so my understanding is that this is the last of the old style seats. However, I’m considering moving myself back a bit to see what it’s like, especially if there is yet to be a trip report of actually sitting in these seats?

Now the good Airbus economy seats ‘enhanced’?

.... After row 12 on BA850 to Warsaw this afternoon the seats change from the tasteful leather with the BA logo to cheap and nasty ultra LCC slim seats that look hard as rock. Is this new?? One of the few premium things about the BA Europe economy cabin now gone. What exactly is the difference between BA and Easyjet now?

Sounds like one of the new A32X Neos.

Short Answer: Very Little except BA is noticeably more expensive for both fares and BOB.

The row 12 part has thrown me. All the flights I've taken the seats change from CE - ET with ET being the newer, slimmer etc etc EZY style of seat. It sounds like you had a half finished aircraft lol. I haven't sat in one of the newer ET seats so can't comment on comfort.

The buy-on-board food and drink tends to be cheaper on Easyjet, overall.

Well I assume it goes to row 12 because that’s the max potential CE seats. But only row 5 is actually ET today (also ‘enhanced’ with no middle tray). So rows 6-12 are lucky to get the ‘CE’ seats.

Ill give BA one thing - by setting a new low in the economy cabin you do at least make the CE product seem a bit more premium now. If you turn McDonalds and turn it into feces, suddenly the McDonalds looks better than it did.

Another enhancement. No video screens anymore for the safety demo. Unless I’m mistaken if I recall they used to flip down. An audio announcement has replaced the video.

I guess this is what happens when you have a Vueling CEO

Seriously, that new cabin looks like a Vueling one.

The Warsaw flight today was on G-TTNA, which is a NEO. The trick to these aircraft is to be in the first 12 rows since they are still Pinnacle.

Photos here, and the rest of the thread (click top right hyperlink) has the full story.

Really? Well then, with the current safety video being the tortuous horror that it is, that can only be a good thing. Unless the audio announcement is in the same vein.

No recorded audio announcement - it’s read out by cabin crew on the PA system.

Ah, well back to the (not so distant) old days then. Let's hope they stick to a short, sweet standard script rather than an overlong, painfully unfunny 'comedy' version.

Likewise. Not having to watch the safety video is the best thing about the NEO.

The final enhancement was in-seat usb power in an exit row that actually didn’t work.
