Another change to the J seat that seems to have occurred recently: the satiny headrest condom has gone. It has been replaced by a white pillow that is velcro'd to the top of the seat, and actually provides head support. It is much better, and more attractive, and more supportive, though you might find it a little high in the bed position. I actually didn't use the pillow as the head rest was enough height for me.

But yes, I noticed that too last month when I flew HKG-YYZ on a 77A that there was a pillow there. I don't fly long haul J on CX very frequently so I did not realise what the change was, but it did strike me as being different and more comfortable even though I couldn't put a finger on it. |

I would not, could not, sit in CX coffins.
I could not, would not, with a drink. I will not sit in them with a mate. I will not sit in them on any plane. I will not sit in them here or there. I will not sit in CX J anywhere. I do not eat fly CX J green seats or gray. I do not like them, Sam-I-am. In 2007 I tried them once moved on to BA in J now for good! But ask me about CX F - Loving IT ^ |

It was smoother, and not made of that plasticky fake velvet. I'm sure it would mean that your clothes don't get stuck on the fabric as you try to slide around on it, and probably be less hot as well. The old fabric was terrible to look at, feel and made you feel so hot. And it looked old even on new aircraft.
Unfortunately I wasn't sitting in J this time so wasn't able to see if there were any other changes to the seat. |

Glad to hear CX is trying to improve the J product. Frankly, I have always thought it is a far cry from SQ's outstanding J seats.

Since there is so much controversy on the CX seats - on both sides - some people love it and some hate it - why doesn't CX wisen up and make the central part of the cabin BA style and the window side the herringbone private cabins. That way those with families or couples can sit in the middle and individual travellers can sit on the side.
Better yet would be to compartmentalize it somehow so if there are kids that would be the only cabin they are allowed in... maybe lower deck only on 747 and perhaps front J cabin in 77A or something like that... any thoughts? |
