The chair must swivel, there’s a desk behind it and a tv on the wall.
The photos are taken from different mockups.
Frankly, I don’t get it. There’s a great waste of space.
EY may be cavernous, but at least the colour scheme and cabin are stunning. This is just bland.
Looks like EK’s reveal will be the most anticipated now.

Underwhelmed at first glance.
As noted, the pictures are not from the same suite - one picture has a TV above the swivel chair and the other doesn't. Not sure if that's because they are mock-ups or just different suites are arranged in a different manner so not sure whether to take these as final or near final mock-ups (hopefully the latter).
Makes me actually hope that we don't get the new suites when we take our honeymoon suites flight on SQ 25 (JFK - FRA - SIN) next September.

The most interesting change to J class according to this seat map would be that the centre pair of seats are close together, away from the aisle. The current J seats have the seats closer to the aisle and the console between them. I suppose the improvement would be that the passenger's head is away from the aisle while sleeping, thus less disturbance. Window pax are still near the aisle though.

Any architects/engineers on here that can help us interpret the design for the two spaces on both sides of the front stairwell? Are they lavatories? What are some of the features of the lav?
