Post updated with seat details for First and Business class. Content has been streamlined with the most pertinent information.

if you find appropriate, you can include this thread I started earlier this year for couples choosing seats together on new J on 77W.

What are the best seats in Economy Class?

sxc, a belated thank you for streamlining posts and for tidying up this forum (in various ways). It is now greatly improved.

There used to be a section where for each destination, there is a description for what aircraft to expect. Is that gone or have I overlooked it? Thanks.

You can find it in the old FAQs, but as it's hard to keep that information up to date, and since there are always changes to service offerings, decided not to include it in the future: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...-about-cx.html

The flyerguide wiki links at the top of the page has pretty up to date information on which aircraft fly to which destination: http://flyerguide.com/wiki/index.php...fic_(CX)_Fleet

Thank you.

Does anyone have any experience in Premium Economy? My parents booked and Even though the trip is only end of Feb next year, returning in March, most seats are already blocked which is odd. The only seats I managedto get them is the front row on the 77W which are 31A/C and 31A/C on the the 33G ?
77W is front row and the second row in on the 33G.
Does anyone know why CX blocks so many seats and do they become available at a later stage?
Many thanks for your input

HKG - JNB - HKG; pajamas in First Class
 
It is reported that beginning in August 2014, non-stop CX flights on the above route (i.e., CX 748 and CX 749) will be converted to "77W". Since both flights are over 12 hours, and the timetable says no First Class is offered, am I correct that we're talking about the 77G with new Business Class seating (reverse herringbone)?

When last I flew CX long-haul First Suite, I was given a nice 2-piece set of pajamas in Oriental style cut. Now I see references to a (one-piece?) "sleep suit". Does anyone know where I might find a picture of this item?

As always, thanks in advance.

I am not sure why that is, but it may simply be that the seats are already booked. However, the good news is that the front row seats are probably the best, since they have a bit more legroom and, most importantly, are the only row with proper legrests (the other rows have footrests, since the legrests make it too difficult for non-aisle pax to get in and out). So your 77W bookingsn are already the best available
