c-class seating, really ?
oh... they managed to Keep the non-all-aisle Access, well done ... ridiculous.
anyway, at least consistent.
hope they got rid of those air-cushion that goes up and down the whole time in F too,
F Looks great as usual, C Basic and not all aisle Access, shame

I hope this seating map is wrong or does the 77W again have only one toilet in F?
EDIT: Seat map is wrong. There are two lavatories for sure
First 777 flights can be booked on ZRH-JFK route starting Feb 21 (4 weekly flights on Mo,We,Fr,Su)

May be they think they cannot sell more seats? SQ runs an A380 on this route. I am more surprised by Montreal being on the list.

Interesting that J is still a 1-2-2 design with no direct aisle access for all passengers. No PE was introduced (which is the industry trend).
http://www.experiencetheskies.com/fu...ing-777-300er/ has a video of the new cabin.

The new F cabin looks excellent, but it's disappointing LX didn't update the J cabin, especially since the % of non-aisle access seats has increased.
Y looks rather terrible, but in line with most other major carriers. Though the main reason to fly LX Y (2-4-2 config on all long-haul routes) has disappeared.

First Class looks nice, basically an improved version of the current version. But Business Class was my biggest disappointment. Why keep the current product which has been around since 2009? And more importantly less passengers will have direct aisle acces, but not only that, the only solo seats are the thrones which are essentially like coffins. It does however look like they've raised the sleeping position of the seat, e.g you're no longer sleeping on the floor, or is that just an illusion?

[QUOTE=NA-Flyer;25091535]Big disappointment with the new 777 cabin offerings especially with J class.
No major changes to hard products in all classes
[/QUOTE
Looks like they have stuck with the Vantage seats in J which was a surprise. The individual seated in the double-bank window seat will continue to have to crawl over the aisle-seated (when extended) occupant for access.

New F looks great. Nice large screen to watch the airshow. The front lavatory should be large enough to be wheelchair accessible and perfect for changing cloths/slipping into pyjama.
I like the look of the new C. As I always book a throne seat, I don't care about non-all-aisle-accessibility.
10 abreast in Y: I don't care.
No Y+: I don't care.
Just my 2 Rappen.
