New Seats

After a relaxing long walk round Central Park, we headed back to JFK to lounge around a bit before catching the late night flight to LHR.

We were in for a treat on this flight as it was kitted out with the new Club World seats.

The positives

  • Seat width is wider (armrests move down when in flat bed mode). This makes a huge difference to sleeping
  • Stretch your legs over the footrest. If you don't have a seat in front and you're tall, this helps sleeping again
  • AV on Demand with more film and TV selections. It's long overdue. Video quality is ok, you can definitely see compression
  • Seat is more comfortable. Better foam/cushioning materials

The negatives

  • There was a springboard effect when lying flat. I only really noticed this when turning over, but it was annoying
  • Wife's AVOD didn't work, I think the screen was broken. Didn't matter much as this was a night flight
