So apart from the cheese board and the window seat, how was it for you? When does the therapy start?

It was a new plane which was nice so the IFE was good, I found the seat cramped and a pain to climb over my wife when I wanted the bathroom. There's a reason F is so much better on the 777.

Service was very good, they let us keep drinking the Veuve Rose despite it technically being a PDB only and the cheese was nice. I'm going to write in to compliment them.

I just checked in at Cai (back in first thankfully) and the lady asked me if I left anything on the plane like headphones- I was like no then realised I clearly left them on the flight yesterday - any way after describing the brand (Bose qc35) I was handed them back! Bravo EK - sometimes the machine works so well and I am very happy to have them back. I now need to have a few glasses of DP to get over this and the fact I have to suffer with sky cruisers for 3 hours

And here I was on a red-eye from BHX yesterday in upper-deck Y in a center aisle with a neighbour with a pea-sized bladder, and J completely full so no chance to upgrade

One of the new new ones? Any pics of the seat? Did you venture down the back to see what Y was like or was J far enough down the back for you ?

You mean there is anything behind J?
Not just cargo?

A6-EPY was delivered a couple of days ago and I haven't heard how it's configured, but the ones before that were all 3 class.
