Its my first time on this equipment - I was really excited because the plane is very new, the styling looks amazing, and I've heard alot about the comfort of the seats. The configuration is 2-2 so its very comfy compared to the 737's 3-3 configuration. The first thing I realised when I boarded, was that the plane doesn't have live2air installed! It didn't bother me that much really since it was a short trip but what about on longer trips??
The next interesting thing was the announcement by the Head FA about the 'showers' in the cabin. That's odd... what showers? then it dawned on me - the bloody Air Condensers for the AC was leaking! well so much for reading my magazine!
Ok i'll over look that and i'll get some shut eye. The seat is not bad and the pitch is decent. As I proceeded to lean back, I started looking to adjust my head rest. OH NO that's why I take Qantas! for the damn head rests! these seats are all leather bounded and fixed! there's no room on the seat to rest your head on an angle - its almost FLAT!
I woke up with a sore neck as I landed in SYD.
Now i'm very confused. Overall the plane is very comfy and spacious and the styling is amazing. But as for seat comfort.....
