A couple of small tweaks for the 77W seats

[MAN Flyer]

After reviewing the feedback from the first months of operations they are slightly altering a couple of things, allegedly.

One is the leather on the seats, which has been reported to be a little 'too soft' and people have been 'slipping down it' apparently. So slightly stronger leather will be used.

There are also reports that people have claimed that the cushions are a little too hard/uncomfortable so they are looking to use a slightly softer cushion.

Maybe others on here have heard about this ?.

Pleased to hear about the leather. When I travelled on SQ861/2 in February, my largest problem was sliding down the seat! Before takeoff, when the seat could not be reclined, I did not find it overly comfortable (for a F class seat, rather than in general!) Sounds like this could help matters. I think part of the problem is that the seats are so wide and - given that the leather is slippy - it can be difficult to grip the seat properly. Will hopefully get to try this out again in the near future.

Welcome to SQTalk, Irish lad!

Yes a lot of the complaints have centered on the F cabin and the uncomfort of the new F seats, and also the susceptibility to wear and tear of materials in the J cabin. Glad to see they're doing something about it.

Although there are a lot of complains, I think the new J and F seats are still great compared to others.

My problem is that after I travelled on the new J, I had a hard time enjoying SQ's Spacebed. The new J is just way too comfortable to lounge, to sit on, and to sleep. The privacy is also unbeatable.

Yeah. 'Enjoying' SpaceBeds would be very hard from now with the new J out.
My only consolation is that I sleep very well on SpaceBeds.

I will be contented to get to sit on a Spacebed given the fact I've never flown in C or F. Well, if I'm so lucky and I get to sit on the new C seats, everybody will start to fly in F or some in private jets...

If that were true, I'll be happy to score you some of my miles for a J redemption.

It depends on where you seat on 77W. The 2 rows 11 and 12, I must say not private enough for me. I kept seeing the guys accross the aisle doing some adjusting procedures!

When you have seen almost all the movies, you will have to find other entertainment, right?
And don't ask me what the ladies pax did.
