Does anyone know what the aircraft model code is with the new F cabin? 77I maybe?

There's been no changes in config so I guess it'll still be 77H.

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

That's right about the arm rest not sliding down in the new pic. I hope this isn't the case!

Of the 24 77H's...only B-KPR have been taken out of service for the past few days. Its been in KHH from July 11-22. Curious which route this bird will be placed on...in a few hours time :D

That cupholder to avoid spills in turbulence? I don't think that it will make any difference. Looks like maybe 1/8 inch lip is all that would hold the cup in place.

another small change, it appears CX has installed the flower holders at all seats in the 777. I think that's a nice move. In the current (non-refreshed) 777 there are only lily holders I think in the D seats, I never understood why the window seats didn't get flowers on the new 777. Versus the 747, where all seats have them.

I don't recall that the side part slid down as part of the mechanism. In the linked photo, I think it is just the side part folded down.

You can see in this picture how it actually worked in the old version.

I recall that the side part can be pulled down and become an arm rest.

Correct...same for LchChester below you. Seat looks the same design to me. I think Kachjc is confused, the side thing never slid down when the seat reclined - it was always an arm rest folded down, or just made for a massive seat when upright.

CX scores ahead of SQ 6 to 8!
 
I think everyone has missed the really smart move on CX's part - do a modest refurb but keep the very expensive seat mechanicals and only 6 of them in the 777. SQ had a chance to even the game earlier this month with their new first but blew the budget on new seats and forgot the important thing - total cabin space. They still cram 8 suits in where CX continues with just 6. It makes a big difference.

Congratulations CX

The side part does not fold or slide down. However, you can raise up the end part of the side to make it horizontal with the flat bed if that makes sense.

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.



has anyone else tried the new headphones?
