AeroLopa shows club going up to row 14. Maybe its 13 rows of Disruption Club Europe at 6 per row with middle seat kept empty in row 1 to placate GGLs??

And yet Ethiopian Airlines A350s don't have it, nor do Emirates A380s etc. Doesn't black make the interior hotter?

Having flown on 'Ned' yesterday afternoon, what struck me was the crew's lack of awareness, especially as they had operated the outbound. Now, I'm not expecting them to understand the intricacies of ex-bmi cabins etc. certainly, they would be 'zoned out' of things like that. But, this extended to reading out of the non-NEO safety briefing with "whistle and light/tie in a double bow". Which contrasts with a recent flight on TTNT where the IFL proactively called the crew at the rear to encourage passengers to stow their suitcases on their sides. Does anybody know BA's SOP here?

Its a bit like when you get one of the ex-BD aircraft and the crew still happily say that wifi and in seat power are available 😀, which leads to lots of people looking confused

I may be wrong about this but I don't expect they will target any specific routes. This would likely be too challenging. Maybe others have more info on this.

There was some communications that the max CE capacity was 84. This was a bit misleading though, as 14 rows x6 = 84. But of course the middle seat isnt used. So the actual max CE capacity remains at 56.
