The console side armrest; no, it is fixed.

The door side armrest does move, by manual operation of the silver button on the front. This also allows that armrest to be lowered while as a seat, for easier access to the aisle.

Look at photos in the wiki at the top.

It is, yes.

On a 4-class B777 the number of Club seats rises by 1, from 48 to 49.

Indeed, this is the American version: https://mk0runwaygirl0t0gjwt.kinstac...ines-Large.jpg



Personally although I prefer the AA seat to the QR one I think BA is the better option all round, if it feels claustrophobic or I'm feeling sociable - leave the door open....

So I’m all booked to YYZ on the second week off new A350 Service! Very excited! Both row 1 &2 are available but as we won’t have any feedback for a while on potential galley disturbances etc I think I will play it safe and book 2A?? I presume the doors will quiten things down a bit as on QR Q suite!

I do like the wider armrest (aisle-side) on the AA version, though.

Yes, it does appear that's where they have found at least some of the width for the door. The proof will be in spending 7 or more hours in it, I'm quite - erm - wide, so we'll see if the door is worth a cm or two less in this area.

I agree the colours in the photo taken in the bright lights of the crew report centre could be seen as boring and even some of the promo shots but I think with the airbus mood lighting on and a warm reading light, these colours will look quite sophisticated. Or I could be totally wrong - looking forward to finding out though.

I agree a splash of colour somewhere would have been nice.

A red pillow or blanket? Contrasting seatbelt[s]?

When does it start? Mrs BTC wants to go to Toronto and it seems opportune to do when the 350 and new seats are there... providing I can use the GUF2

agreed! BA generally play it safe with colour schemes however I think the blue and grey will look classy especially as you say with the mood lighting.

The pax will destroy the neat look by being there anyway, unless a dress code is strictly enforced!

You should also take your shoes off at the door of each suite

Ah-so, rockflyertalk-San ... but we are not talking about JAL or Chez Hyacinth Bucket.

Toronto flights are already scheduled using the A350 and with the new CS. October 1st onwards. This thread may help...
