This seems to be the photos of the new F and J on the 74H.
Oh my, the F cabin is so ugly. Quite how they managed to achieve the soothing and luxurious ambiance of a third-world hospital in the nose of a brand new 74H is beyond me.
I think I need to go and look at my photos of EY Apartments to help my eyes recover...

The other thing is that there seems to be so much wasted space, not to mention no pair in the middle for those travelling together. Only having 6 F seats will make redemption space extremely tight as well.

I redeemed Delta miles for a RDU-ICN r/t in Business and one of the flights will be ORD-ICN on the 747-8i. This will be next March, I'm very much looking forward to it! ^
