Coming Biz Elite Service Upgrades?
I know the new duvets and pillows are beginning this month, and will be rolled out thru April. I also read somewhere (can't remember where) that BE will also eventually be getting new plates, silverware, etc. Does anyone know when that is scheduled? Are there any pics of the new 'ware?

Just came back BOM-JFK and they already had the new duvets and pillows on the flight. Both are oversized ^^ (especially for the duvet as you get more than full coverage). Much better than the existing cloth/synthetic/wool blankets.

Something's better than nothing, eh? Will have to save up (miles, $$, etc) for another BE trip later in the year, I guess!
