Different First class seats
Hi,
Just watched a video of a BA First seat where the little wardrobe is on the edge of the divider facing the seat. I’ve also seen them on the outside facing the corridor.
I knew there were new seats kicking about, is this an example of a difference? If so what other differences are there?

No major differences except the newest versions have doors fitted. The wardrobe access does vary and can even vary within a cabin depending on the position of the seat. But, all major components and in particular the seat itself are the same.

Don't forget that the screen is huge and much more responsive. Not overlooking the seat itself should be fresher and less used than the old F.

Indeed, although the A380 First cabin is the largest of the lot in terms of total personal space, despite it being based on the old F seat found on the 772 and unrefurbished 77Ws.

The 787/new 777 F has the side table wall-mounted rather than vertical and as such there is much more sleeping space for your legs if you sleep on your side and aren't too big. This seems to be overlooked in most reviews.
