There is a lottery for CX staff to attend the Aria launch event, so I guess the cat is out of the bag now:

Hopefully, they'll send us plebs an invite as well. (If anyone from CX is reading this, I'll clear my schedule)

To the extent they do a refresh on FB2 that's fine. They don't need to tinker much with the design (well they can, but not much hope they will put in Apex (floor space) or Qsuites (weight)).

Wow cx really likes herringbone type seats

some observations on the new 777J seat map
 
regarding gavinchan's post above, very interesting. A few initial observations compared to 77K

1.) I'm curious how extension of Door 2 galley to A side will work in practice (77K has J class seats in both 19A and K, whereas this new 77J is only on K side)
2.) Seems like they extended J class mini-cabin farther back, and now PEY extends to the Door 3 galley. So the somewhat private, smaller Y section is now gone.

Next would be fare hike in CX's planning but hopefully that will coincide with more capacity dump among competitors :D.

May I have your source here? Is this your DIY work?

Other oddments noted: lack of border indicating fuselage wall next to K seats (compared to A seats, and the cabin in front) and what appears to be an ottoman-but-no-seat mysteriously tucked in behind 24A, along with misalignment of row number labels in the second cabin, eg compare position of '20' and '23' to '18'.

'Benefit of the doubt' rule suggests this could of course be a hurried and obviously incomplete mockup from CX internal, but by the same token it could also be disappointingly more like 'fake news' (or just downright false information, deliberately created to deceive).

Are they converting the 297 seats planes to 354 seat plane?

I have seen the internal LOPA and this looks broadly correct. At a glance, seat count is marginally off by a couple and the position of some of the monuments is different.

Higher J and PE loading is more interesting new to me than the new seat.

The male is on the left on the left hand side lavatory but it is on the right on all the other lavatory.

The knife is on the left on the left hand side gallery while it is on the right on all the other gallery.

You can see there are 6 rows of PE from the promotion video released earlier this year.

I know this person mostly makes somewhat false and unproved rumors. MAYBE this is another one, but in the form of a seating map...

i think its best to be patient and wait..
