I hope the leaked mock-ups are unfinished ones or test ones and that the finished one has a better asthetic (the current one has more personality than those).

As for the seatmap (if 100% accurate) we will see an increased density in J to 78 seats... but hopefully a better designed product to make up for the squeez.

Most likely it's just the different states each suite can be in, it kinda makes me think of the transforming apartments concept to maximize small spaces.

Also booked 1A/2A, although they automatically assigned 1A/1F (we were centre row 3 before).

Travelling end May and very excited.

Since when are showers in the airport private? All bathroom facilities in lounges are open to the public to some degree.

Also if you can't plan to arrive earlier to check into a hotel before work you need a better EA.

I'm surprised the JFK route isn't the second route to get this new product. I guess it's not a surprise if most PAX on the JFK route are using miles in Suites while people are paying for Suites on the EU routes (LHR/CDG).
