I'm sure AuBT will be one of the first blogs to have those photos up! ^

I'd mention that the individual lights in Y+ are a nice touch, wish they could've made the light more longer and flexible though.

Do you think the Y+ seats will have power adjustment now?

I honestly just wish they offer a sturdier table that's level in Y+

It looks like there are powered adjustment buttons for Y+. The individual light could get annoying for the seat neighbor if it is positioned incorrectly.

The Y seat has an interesting head rest adjustment mechanism, but the big gap between the seats make it look narrow.

"Cathay Pacific gets its first Airbus A350 on May 27"

http://www.ausbt.com.au/cathay-pacif...a350-on-may-27

A few interesting comments, plus

"Cathay Pacific will showcase the A350 to members of the media on Monday May 30, with the aircraft’s first commercial flight as CX907 to Manila on June 1."

Does anyone have any idea if row 19 is missing a window like the 330s?

Finally managed to score 21A on my flight, hoping to get a better photo of the sharklets with the brushwing logo from that angle...

I wanted to pick a different view for another flight so i was thinking 18 or 19 might work,

Your best bet would be to look at videos with other A350 operators in service and just do the best you can matching the view.

While I wouldn't mind 21A, for some reason especially on the 777, I prefer to be right in front of the engines! I hear and see the engines much more clearly.

Nice bit from AY



SeatGuru has maps of the AY 350 and the QR 350, but is not showing any seats with missing windows

So I've booked and paid for my cx flight jhb - hkg-sgn in end October and I managed seat selection on the A359 to Saigon via my travel agent. :) I've joined Asia miles as well.

Assume you all knew this

"Cathay Pacific confirms "no first class" for Airbus A350-1000"

FYI: don't be too hasty to book CX907 for June 1, which CX has advised as the A350's first revenue service – or, if you do, consider booking yourself a flexible fare – as there's a chance this could change by a day or two.

I think a new First Class will be available on the new 779...so that's about 5 more years. Should have new seats for Business, PEY and EY also.

B-LRA is now at the Delivery Ctr.

Now with the first scheduled flight is approaching quickly for next week on the 1st (CX 907 from HKG-MNL) and I'll definitely be onboard. Will there be any spotters spotting that flight and/or anyone that will be onboard as well? I hope to see some gorgeous photos! Will be more than happy to share my own photos along with videos :D

I am sure betting is illegal by FT rules, so I'll volunteer to buy drinks on Jun 1st if that plane takes off on or before that day :D

Does your offer still stand?! June 1st is next week and it seems that everything is going along as scheduled ^ :D
