Somewhat OT
Any thoughts on rows 70 and 71 in Y. There are now two rows of 2 seats each in the back but it is next to the toilet. The 773 config without Y+ only has one row of 2 seats at the very back.
I forget. Does the queue for the toilet usually extend all the way to these seats, resulting in people using your seat back as a brace when they walk? It seems these might be the best seats if you are traveling with only one other person or in a party of four.
Thanks

Just curious, where/how did you check the seatmap? It's not showing up yet on CX's website under their fleet info, and when you click the 77W link on a booking it gives a content error.

Is this actually a report of a Premium Economy offering or is it Economy in the Premium Economy cabin? Y+ is not a "sold" cabin until 1 April. Until then I know they are seating MPO in the Y+ cabin but I don't know if this is with Y service or Y+ service. If the former then I am not surprised the meals were from Economy.

The ISM told me that the general policy is that the first meal is "like" a J class service, and the second meal is like a Y class service.

This current month of "free" premium economy is a proper premium economy service with specific menus etc. They are trying the service so that they can refine for revenue premium economy the following month.

I think that's where only 2+ inches would already make a huge difference. It's still tight in QF Y+ seats for example, but indeed possible to get through without waking up your front seat pax.

Anyone been in Y's "mini cabin" row 39-42? Did you notice a significant reduction in noise compared to the main cabin? Trying to decide between the bulkhead compared to the exit row for extra legroom...

From what I saw, no. If I remember correctly, there was a bulkhead behind the last row because the door is directly behind it. There's a huge area around the door where people stand. But I didn't see it during the 'peak toilet time'.
