Surprising move as I would have thought EVA would have been the last of all carriers to implement 3-4-3 within Asia.

No idea

PP website says
Opening Hours
05:00 - 22:00 daily.
https://www.prioritypass.com/en/loun...8-1a18e47193a3

but I think it'll stay open for the BR35 flight
It was the case for PP in T3 but there were CX & BR departing flights

Only SFO(sometimes BR28 doesn't), IAH, LAX, JFK, and some SEA flights currently get Wifi-equipped planes rn.

I have now updated the wiki post with fleet numbers of each configuration in service (77N vs. 77M vs. 77A vs. 77X) based on the trip report in this thread.

Note: I don't know the official BR name for the 10-abreast configuration yet so I'm calling it 77X (X=10) for now.

Do all 77As have the 'new' seating in Elite, or are there both 'old' and 'new' versions out there?

I'm flying IAH-TPE-IAH on 10/19 & 10/31, both flights showing as 77A non-kitty.

Not many comments out there on good/bad Elite seating.

Would appreciate advice / Cheers

When they refurbish the plane with the Wifi/newly delivered planes starting with B-16718, they will get the new Elite/Economy seats. Rn the economy being refurbished is 3-3-3 but pretty sure they have started on refurbishing the 77W into 3-4-3.

I was asking about the 77A configuration.

Awesome - so my window seat foot won't be scrunched by the old media box.

Cheers

Any updated reviews of wifi on board while crossing the Pacific? I'm seriously considering flying with BR instead of CX on my trip next week.

TIA!
