Does anyone know what kind of seating config is used on the following flights to Mumbai?

Had a bad experience a few years back with CX in a very old plane in what seemed to be upright premium economy but paid Business class fares

Not keen to repeat

24Feb09 HK/Mumbai CX685 1415/1825
27Feb09 Mumbai/HK CX750 0520/1535

Would hope its the new lie-flat coffin config. If anyone can let me know would be much appreciated

Thanks

Both flights currently operated by a 744, most of which have the new seats. You could find yourself on an aircraft that hasn't been modified with the new product, but they would still have the old-style (so called) lie-flat seats.

Thanks I think the old flights were a clapped out 757 so this is def an improvement

Many Thanks

For what it's worth, CX doesn't operate the 757. It was probably a 777-300 with the regional seat config.

Premium economy? Are you sure it wasn't a Tristar?:cool:

The 777 stopped going to BOM 1st Oct 2008.

The flights are now Airbus and 744. And they try to use the new Olympus seats if they can. So the seats should be ok

Thanks for that - I'll change back from Jet then and see how it goes
