CX845 regular economy, still with shell or changed to recline?
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if CX845 JFK - HKG is operating with the new economy seat (no-shell seats) and that there is a power outlet per seat? I read this article from 2012 that flights from JFK to HKG have been configured back for the seats to recline instead of using the shell method but that article mentioned other flight numbers have been using those newly configured planes but not CX845. Since it's been 2 years, I am hoping the change has made it to include that flight as I will be flying it in the near future. Any insights is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
FHD

845 isn't scheduled to fly as anything but a 77W which means cradle (recline) seat can be expected.
Shells remain only on the 343 and the short-haul fleet.
