A350 Cirrus seats would be perfect for all travellers if CX could simply add a retractable privacy divider between D/G seats.

The second 77w equipped with Aria Suite, B-KPF returned to HKG today and is operating CX520 HKG-NRT now. B-KPO finally got some rest:)

Looks like B-KPF is back in service HKG-NRT as of today January 12th. Does anyone have an updated list of planes with Aria suites, current routes, and planes being retrofitted?

I heard that CX will deploy Aria Suite on one LHR pair between Jan 22-31, 2025, on the following flight:
CX255 HKG 2335-0620+1 LHR CX250 LHR 1750-1435+1 HKG. |

I thought this was already well-known, back to last year? It's based on the Elements platform but customised to an almost bespoke extent.
CX kept it under wrap until its big launch last year! Carfield |

is that a 3rd aircraft required (say B-KQH) for daily long haul operations ?
If you are running such a route daily with only 2 applicable frames, you are pretty much guaranteed to be regularly swapping one out due to the above-mentioned reasons. That would lead to more complex issues. 3x frames seems the right number for daily long-haul ops. Worth mentioning I have never worked for an airline so I'm not really sure how people who do this for a living think about it. |

I think practically you need a spare due to the inevitable delays

That makes sense to me with 2x frames.
While you could technically do a >12 hour one-way route like LHR with just 2 frames, I think practically you need a spare due to the inevitable delays, weather, medical, or tech issues that regularly arise in airline operations from time to time. If you are running such a route daily with only 2 applicable frames, you are pretty much guaranteed to be regularly swapping one out due to the above-mentioned reasons.

The ground staff at LHR always joke about this, especially for 254 ;)

Indeed back in Oct when I checked in for 254 agent joked “I hope it’s not delayed or cancelled again tonight, been a traumatic past few days for us” lol
250/255 seems to be the better pair to trial long haul aria. |
