The new seats have already been fitted to the 777. I was due to fly out from BRS to Miami via Newark just before Christmas when Newark was closed due to snow. I was rebooked via Houston from Heathrow. The service on that 777 flight was excellent. The new lie flat seat was extremely comfortable. Much more so than Club World on BA. I'm 6'4" and had no problems lying flat on the Continental seat. In Club World I can't. The new seat is also in a 22 formation. I actually prefer having them this way rather than the isolation of single pods on Virgin and BA. The return flight to Bristol in early Jan was probably 85% full. The service was very good, but with the new beds it will offer a vast improvement to the cabin environment. The new seats are being fitted to the 777 first and then across the 757 fleet. I don't believe they will be fitted to the 767, due to the arrival of the 787 in a couple of years.
