Are you sure? Do you mean the guy that has the right to run the Harvey Nichol stores in HK? Dickson Poon

Dickson Poon owns Harvey Nichols. Both in HK and in the UK (and elsewhere where they have outlets). Doesn't he also own Barney's New York?

No brand. CX logo.
Noise cancelling with no audio playing may be slightly better than old version
Sound quality watching TV show was so-so
Sound quality listening to music was terrible. Really awful.
I did a comparison with a few songs that both IFE had and I had on my iPhone :
- iphone + stock apple ear bud headphones were much, much better quality

I think I will now finally buy some proper headphones to take on the plane, as the stock version is now unusable for music.


Thanks CX...



Had the new headphones again on a HKG-SIN flight.

I retract some of what I said above. The sound for movies / TV is awful too, not even just ok. .

All around, pretty terrible product, and certainly a step backwards from the current offering.

If they are introducing Bose to F class, then they are making a very distinct differentiation between J and F!

Yes because F/J and PEY used to have to same headphones!

Finally CX is better than SQ in something!:D

they removed the pillow from the past of the seat that can be folded down!!

before the bed looked like this http://thepointsguy.com/wp-content/u...-Class-Bed.jpg

with the arm rest also sliding out to form the bed- the new pictures of the fully made bed seem to indicate otherwise- which means headspace is reduced

looks very ummm - let just say the flight attendant red provides a nice contrast

A very classy refresh ! Shame there are no photos yet of the new tray table.

I notice that the seat controls will be via a touch screen panel in the same place too. Hope that doesn't malfunction!

Looks good. Any way to know if I'll be flying the new F?

route list
 
Maybe someone can find the routes that will refreshed, or what route this was rolled out on.

The color tone looks slightly similar to the Qantas suites on the A380. I think I kinda like the new look.

GE90-115B Jul 25, 2013 9:13 am

Impressive, but can't say it makes the old F look bad. Apart from the IT advancements such as HDMI/USB plugs on the new F, both versions are actually comparable. It's pretty much a case of each to their own. Some people like the new, others may still prefer the color scheme on the old.

The picture with the IFE screen included actually shows CX100 on the flight display, does this mean they're gonna bring back F on Aussie routes? :p
