CX will not be retrofitting 777s with the same seats as A350s, however they will be adding leg rests to the existing seats:

Hi Learned Ones:
Could someone point me to information on how to get the leg rest to extend on 30D PEY seat? Flew in 30D ORD-HKG but was told by crew that it did not extend. I am flying HKG-ORD on 25 November in 30D. It would be a truly great thing to get that metal footrest to extend so I can sleep better. I was in the same seat on the 350 HKG - MNL and the new easy-to-extend footrest made all the difference in the world wrt comfort.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, not sure if there is a way to tell. My favorite seat on the 77H in PEY is 32K, right behind the lavatory. 31 A/C are not technically bulkhead, but exit row. There is lots of leg room, but without the bulkhead wall to put my feet against, I find the older leg rest to not be very comfortable for a 12+ hour flight. One of my colleagues brings a portable camping stool to use as a footrest. Row 30 would be great if not for the passengers cutting across to use the lavatory.

do the number of row in economy strink? i thought the retrofit aircraft has 2 more inches in PE, so does it reduce in Y ?
thanks

No, the number of rows in Y remains the same (or else there'd be an easy-ish way to spot an aircraft with retrofitted PEY). They gain the extra 2 inches of legroom for non-bulkhead seats by taking away 6-8 inches from the bulkhead seats.

Just took CX807 on B-KPX (77H) a few days ago. I believe it has been retrofitted and it was a much better seat compared to the Y+ I took last year on another 77H.
