Indeed, if you pause at say 1.27 mins you see the suite shell, looking 95% the same as the original but with a different light and perhaps shelf / magazine tray. There may be other differences in the seat itself but really the proof will be in the width and length - and of course whatever VS's marketing fantasies add to it!

Also, it looks like virtually no change to PE, which is a shame, VS could have taken another opportunity to outclass the opposition ... overall it confirms that if anything, there's little to nothing onboard that represents a leap over the past, minor modifications only and just as I expected.

I think the "Wander Wall" is the innovation in PE isn't it? Details of which have still to be announced.

From VSFlyingHub:

The Wander Wall
In our biggest innovation for Premium Economy, customers can stretch their legs and take a stroll to the ‘Wander Wall,’ our new social space, to grab a snack or drink. As they pop by, they can chat to our cabin crew, who are often one of the key reasons customers choose to fly with us.

So now you know! LOL

Also re Upper:

The new bar
The Upper Class bar has been redesigned to make it even more of a social space. So not only will your customers be able to mingle and have a drink, they’ll also be able to eat and relax. There’s another bar stool added so that four people can ‘dine at the bar.’ And there’s a chance to experience new services like wine tasting.
A screen at the bar allows us to entertain customers or show flight or destination information, making the whole flight experience feel connected.

My only hope is that the Bar surface has been modified.

A quick glance at any bar on the 330 will reveal just how poorly the surface has survived the rigours of day to day use n(

Looking good. 31 third generation UC suites, so hopefully just 3 rows.
