Thanks Sam,
A nice preview of a fantastic variation. I can’t wait for there to be a flight from LAX, but I really would like a yoke in the cockpit. Since I flew on the first Airbus A300 in 1974 I thought it was an incredible simulation of a Boeing airplane. Interestingly it had a yoke, after that Airbus changed from pilots to sysops to fly their planes.

In reply to Porky. Excellent points on business versus pe seating. Recently flew cx business inside asia which was old fashioned 2-2-2 recliners, not the cramped lie flat seats with tiny feet areas.

Are there any data from airlines industry analysts showing which would have significantly lower costs for the airlines?

— Providing unlimited Wi-Fi internet accesses to all onboard passengers, in which each passenger shall bring his/her own device to enjoy his/her entertainments, with his/her own headphone.
or
— The current IFE systems, both hardwares & softwares all inclusive.

Updating my complaints against the entire airlines industry in term of the hardware seat products (last posted on April 30, 2023 as a reply to Sam’s review of JX):

I miss the old business class seats of BR — its version of B/E Aerospace (now Collins Aerospace) MiniPod. With width of 22 inches (measurement between two armrests) & pitch of 61 inches, I actually enjoyed much more 3-dimensional personal space than most of today’s cramped business class seats.

Nowaday, the staggered business class seats, the herringbone business class seats, & the reverse harringbone business class seats, have average width of 20~21 inches & average pitch of 44~45 inches (excluding the tiny footstall).

In comparison, I might even be more comfortable in a premium economy seat with average width of 19+ inches and average pitch of 38~40 inches, especially when NH and JL also provide airport lounge access to premium ecoomy passengers (not the case for JX & BR & CI). One cannot help but wonder what’s the point? The lots of extra money and/or mileages paid are not proportional to the tiny extra 3-dimensional personal space gained (sometimes even lost).

Besides, I can never lie flat & sleep anywhere unless I am in my own home or in a hotel room, behind locked door. However, I have no problem taking power-naps while seating.

The only current business class seats that are worth the money are NH’s The Room (its version of Safran Fusio) & B6’s Mint Studio (first row only). JL’s new business class seats on A350-1000 look promising.

As for the first class seats, only SQ’s suite on A380-800 & EK’s new suite on 777-300ER are worth the hypes. JL’s new first calss seats on A350-1000 look promissing, too.

JAL seats, reliability and service are 5 star in all cabins. Its food and IFE are 3 star at best. It’s an easy fix but JAL is stubborn.
