KC-30 Voyager seating

I'm apparently heading home on a Voyager in a few days, and was wondering what the seating is like for SLF in the back. Is it first class leather recliners, with champagne and free newspapers, or is it more like those vertical Ryanair plastic benches.
In short: Do I need a couple of comfy cushions and a sleeping bag!?!

It's rather nice inside


The Voyager will provide the RAF with a new standard in air transport:

Modern, comfortable, fully equipped passenger cabins providing up to 291 seats with no reconfiguration of the tanker transport required
A330 standard cargo space fully available for the widest range of pallets and containers – including military pallets.
Lower deck cargo bay equipped with semi automatic loading system
Passengers will benefit from a 34 inch seat pitch and In-Flight Entertainment, providing an enhanced travelling experience.

Take the cushions; no need for the sleeping bag.

I don't know about the seating, but it looks like all the hosties are good-looking Australian blondes. Have a great flight!

Good seating.

Depending on which A/C you get, you get an movie. The seats recline, and when they do the ass cushion bit reclines a little too.

Not a bad little airplane..
