New long haul service products on the way!

[akerosid]

In response to criticism of its long haul Economy Class, (and in addition, the well known concerns about the J Class product, not mentioned in the attached article), CX is to launch a new long haul product from December, over a two year period. The existing Y Class will be moved to the short haul A330 and 777 fleets.

CX will also introduce a new Premium Economy class product.

Will they get it right this time?

I say, no way. Whoever is in charge of cabin fit out is either a freak of nature and finds the last few cabin seat version ok, or has received massive kick backs (perhaps both).

Great so all the short haul pax can complain. Why can't they just throw those back breaking seats away
