CX BIz Seats

[Chucksta]

The new CX lie flat biz seats are far superior to the QF skybed and will still be superior to Skybed ver 2.

Pros:
- Lie flat
- Huge widescreen TV (even bigger than QF First Class!)
- Excellent TV menus and handset which always shows ETA
- Good lighting
- Privacy
- More room than skybed (especially the shoulder area)
- Direct aisle access (you don't have to climb over anyone)
- CX attention to detail and service (shame on you QF)

Cons:
- Lack of storage, but once u are in lie flat mode, it is fine
- Have to look over your shoulder to see out the window
- Choose the upper deck as the seats are longer than main deck

To me, the pros outweigh the cons.

I rather fly CX J long haul anytime than QF J or even F.

I think the main con that you missed is the lack of couples seating. In that regard QF SKII would win out.

That is not a con when travelling alone as I will be on my next ATW trip.

Isn't that an unwritten pro??

It is when travelling alone but not when travelling with a petrified mrssimongr who really hates flying...

That is when upper deck and lower deck isolation can be handy

Make the removal of all forms of social interaction a con for me, especially when traveling alone which is usually a great opportunity to chat up a complete stranger.

For reasons previously expressed I'd even go QF J over CX F - I know right, huge YMMV.
