Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the SQ 7M8s have the Vantage seats? Which means there are alternating rows of 2-2 and 1-1. The 1-1 throne seats therefore have 4x more table/storage space compared to the 2-2 seats. I don't like the product inconsistency and would feel annoyed paying the same price if I could only get one of the 2-2 seats.

Don't really like this new color scheme, but it matches the previous KA F (cirrus) color scheme on the A330s. Looks more comfortable than the previous generation, will have to try it to know for sure.

SriLankan’s A320 recliners has possibly got to have one of the best reclines (and legroom) I’ve ever seen. Sure this seat looks snazzy and all, but it really gives away the comfort. Unless CX commits on not flying these on longer regionals (which I doubt), it’s not much of an improvement :(

had this seat on a short red-eye to Seychelles and it was the best sleep i’ve had on a recliner

Similar to Qantas domestic J then:

I was under the impression that QF domestic J has a much worse legroom. Though having said that, it appears that the picture above is an A380 PEY seat :/

Oh! My bad

I am really struggling to find a reclined photo of Qantas Domestic J. I don't think I even have one myself.
This is the closest I can get. I do see where you're coming from about legroom but I am more of a width guy than a tall guy https://www.mapworld.com.au/blogs/ne...s-class-review

Not the Diamond: forthcoming Singapore Airlines (nee SilkAir) Boeing 787 MAX jets will use Thompson Aero's Vantage. Still lie-flat but the alternating 2-2 / 1-1 layout means it's not direct aisle access for everyone.

FYI: Vantage single-aisle LOPA

MY BAD:(
CM 7M8s is using the BE Diamond, not the SQ ones.

Guess the point is the same, why didn't they at least use the BE Diamonds like the AA 321T Business :mad::mad::mad:
Too Bloody cheap on the Seat Pitch I guess :o

percysmith :eek:, you didn't get Brain Damage from all of those Red-Eyes to KIX ;)

QF Domestic J has little if any recline.
JL Class J does, but is a WAY tighter product than the current CX Short Haul J.


clubeurope, SHF 1.67TB Travel Photo Library to the Rescue :D:D:D :tu::tu::tu:
If CX was to use the UL 320 Recliner seat, I doubt none of us here will be b!tching/meh right now.

Commitment in HKG, HA!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
How long is that going to last until it's a Historical Document which is no longer Valid :(

percysmith, you definitely don't want the QF Domestic J seat :(

Those seats seem decent enough for the short flights these A321 will be operating.

Can't see the need of fully flat bed on any flights shorter than 5 or 6 hours anyway.

Frankly I would prefer the original Barcalounger seats that were on the regional 777s and A330s above every other seat that has been thrown about here. I'm talking about the ones with manual recline and legrest extension, not the refreshed ones with electric recline that made it onto a handful of 777s. The cradle position on those seats was very comfortable IMHO, and a refresh of the upholstery, trim, and IFE system would make the seat quite appealing.

To be clear, I'm talking about these seats: https://onemileatatime.com/a380-extr...re-to-colombo/.

If you keep doing those ~4 hrs red-eyes from the Subcontinent, you might say otherwise... :idea:
I've had more than a few South Asians who told me KA stinks on those flights and they go out of the way to avoid them. :o


This Seat! :idea:

Come to think of it, that seat was pretty comfy for that time period. :)
Rolling Tape IFE except

If CX were to go for a modern day Barcalounger, then then the most logical seat would be the one Malindo uses.

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5b60e09416.jpg

Manual Adjustment, IFE, Seat Power :)

But then I would want to see Malindo prices and not Cathay prices.

Otherwise, why isn't one flying with OD then...
Plus who is CX competing with?
Hopefully not OD ;)

That seat has at least as much recline as JL Class J, but wider.

Something about the lumbar support of the existing slide forward CX regional J doesn't work for me.
