I must say I am enjoying all the speculations here. The combination of binoculars and crew rest is certainly the best so far.....

Not long to go now before the reveal.
I’m looking forward to flying this next year, I’m thinking this is better that the SQ first which I’ve actively steered away from on my flight next year, I just don’t like that at all.
I’m hoping this brings a better use of space, the current EK first has too much padding when a wider seat and therefor larger bed would be a better choice.

Maybe , or heating of the seat ? I think the binoculars are for your viewing pleasure when wanting to take a look at the scenery while flying - a bit of a different approach to amenities offered. However it looks really stunning so far , can not wait for tomorrow

I think fully enclosed floor to ceiling suite is probable. Wasn't there a rumor of it being like a train compartment?
That's a great upgrade if it is, because unlike the EY apartment one can actually have full control of lighting and temperature, the latter being a big factor.
