Hey guys, I just got back to MNL completing the 4 sectors of the A350. I'll try to post photos later...

I was able to try the PEY and it's quite comfortable, I haven't actually tried the current PEY so I have nothing much to compare it with.

JCL seats are same-same-but-different, it builds on a very successful product just added new bells and whistles to enhance passenger experience. The ottoman now seems smaller but there is space underneath where you can keep your shoes unlike the current products, where the shoe lockers are too small and pretty much useless.

The PTV now has a bigger screen and the touch screen is more responsive. The interface has also been improved, with photos of your destination as the background of the home screen. Air Show has also received some upgrades, you can switch views, between top view, left or right widows or cockpit view.

Aesthetically, it's not as bad as how it looks on the photos....but it's not the best looking Business Class seat either.

I noticed that the DR1 galley is smaller, and seems to lack counter space, on some of the current aircraft the crew could take out some carts to use as counter space but the space around the door seems to be smaller also so it's a little tight. DR4 galley at the back is a different story, it's huge! it even has a center island in the middle for work space (and so that the crew can play mahjong).

Wifi, I used the wifi on 3 of the 4 sectors, and they were okay. You can chat, post photos on FB and Instagram...I did have some issues uploading one video. I was able to use FB Live yesterday but it gets cut every 30+ seconds...

Floor on the galley are wood laminates...looks nice.

Are the seat controls on PEY now electronic?

Sorry herman176, i wasn't able to check on that.

Anyone know if the A359 is still scheduled to do a run to SIN in Jul. Checking 7/10 and 635 is still showing 343 ops

I checked a number of random dates in July. The 359 is showing only on CX 705 to BKK. Also, most week dates, CX 635 is a 772. On your date it shows as the 343, but on 7/17, it shows as a 333. And of course, there are swaps.

Even if it was scheduled, the CX thing to do would be sub it for an A333.

Videos up on my YouTube channel.

Photos to follow.

Wow, cool. Thanks for posting.
Do you know what that sound was at about the 3:37 minute mark in the push-back video?

That Y class is......... beautiful........

Checking out the Cathay forum for the first time as I plan to try to move as much of my family's travel away from AC as possible.

Hydraulics for flaps

Welcome! However if status is important to you, you may want to check the Marco Polo program and see if it suits you.

Thanks. Actually re-ran some of my own take-off videos on various other aircraft where I'm seated in a similar location, just to see if I could hear the same sounds or at that level.

CX279/278 (HKG-CDG, three weekly) and CX293/292 (HKG-FCO, four weekly) will be served by 359 from 31 Oct.
AKL daily also confirmed from 30 Oct.
