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.

Am just flying the old F on the 31ste Dec this year in time to mark the final goodbyes to the A340 - weirdly i have flown LX longhaul often but never on the A330

Those triple 7 looking old and outdated (like the 737 fossil) even before having been pained 
. Shame on LX for having choosen this plane with all the new generation stuff around.

You should be worried about the terrible interior a lot more than about the Hello Kitty paint scheme or the 777 type purchased.

Well, what can I say, having a 777 flight coming up tomorrow, in Y - but with TK, which was sane enough to put 3-3-3 in, having decent legroom, and good food and spirits.. plus an IFE that is probably better than anything we'll see on LH group in the next couple years..

More expensive (bang for your buck), longer delivery time (and LX _really really really_ needed some replacement for their oldest A340s) and probably some extra discount from Boeing ("get your feet into the door")
