So, I guess this is the third variation of the successful 'worlds best business class' product after CX and AA

Air France have also decided to adopt it: http://www.ausbt.com.au/air-france-p...business-class.

Obviously you're missing his point. He's not doing a seat comparison between US airlines and Asian airlines. He's not comparing the old First Class seat and the new First Class seat. Webb's point is completely valid - the first class seat (and first class pricing) is a CX business class seat with new covering - it is NOT a first class seat. I had the same reaction as him when I saw it.
KA uses it for SHORT-HAUL routes hardly any confusion or sneakiness there. ithe KA first class seat is now the top short haul dedicated first class seat on earth. if Mr Webb would like lower standards and a simple recline seat like the rest- he should zip it and fly mainland airlines!!! seriously- even when KA/CX improve their product to the top people complain..... |

CX also uses those seats for LONG-HAUL routes

There is of course the rotation of aircraft and hence you may see long-haul business class seats show up with say the flights to/from Manila.
Has any airline solved the issue of the persons sitting in D/K seeing the TV screens of the neighbours if the TV screen is lodged in the original position ? |
According to wikipedia, KA only has 6 a330s with a first class cabin, so the retrofit should be a fairly quick process, right? Maybe 2 or 3 months?

Retrofit + a D-check = A month or so per plane.

Plus all the planes might not be due a D-check sequentially.

I have a HKG-PEK flight in KA F during mid-May, so I'm hoping the new F class will be installed by the time of my flight.

Isn't AA new Flagship First on the A321T using the same seat as well, on the JFK-LAX/SFO route, which is longer than KA's regional routes that use F (primarily only serving PEK and SHA)?

A33R uploaded:
http://www.dragonair.com/ka/en_HK/tr...-300-a33r.html Doesn't look like it will take much room more than the J's seat. Wonder if CX/KA will really profit from these "F" seats...or just slowly turn into an op-up heaven....:rolleyes: |
These seats sell.
ALL THE TIME. Although op ups occur, many many times the F cabin leaves full to/from PEK and SHA |
