Just came back to Sydney on CX101 a few days ago, and noted the new lie-flat business seats, which have a herringbone arrangement. The seats look narrower than the previous business seats. Has anyone flown in them?
I really liked them, but not as much as BA new club world.
The good:
- true lie flat seats, with room to stretch out
- really big screen, with lots of movie/tv choice
- staff that went out of their way to provide me with a beef meal, when there was only fish or vegetarian left in J (I ended up with a meals from F - nice). but I have pretty much always found CX staff to be good.
The bad
- not being able to see out the window for take off and landing, especially when you are circling JFK for 30 mins. Is difficult to know what is happening.
- they are a bit narrow, and a little claustraphobic (I am sure I spelt that wrong, sorry)
- not great when travelling with someone - is wuite difficult to talk to the person next to you.
The weird
- you are facing the side, so when taking off, you are pushed against the divider, rather than into the back of the seat
Would be a really good bed to sleep on, so I would recommend it for longer flights.
