Ahh the loos, indeed they are too small and really, we should have a window in UC to pee all over the world!
All the comments back up my view that the UCS is still great, but it has flaws and could be better still. Yes I'd like to see 747 size suites on Airbuses ... but that probably won't happen, so here's my list:
- cocktail tray, needs moving somewhere sensible
- all tables should be able to move forward, as they do on some Airbii but not others, so you can exit with the table laid
- mattresses are desperately in need of improvement
- would like to see the screen fold toward you, from further to the front of the suite, than out and forward from next to you
- the light, oh the light, ick - and a replacement that shines down, not into faces in opposite suites
- tv controls should be able to be closed without then causing flickering and sound changes as the buttons push on the innards
- headphone jack in the perfect place
- standard UK / US / international power outlets, USB chargers etc.
- seat controls to be more accessible, no one likes fumbling around their thighs
- much larger magazine / storage, one you could slip a laptop into when meal tables are laid
- I like the idea of the leather clad table for working that BA offers in new First, much classier and better for optical mice
- a raised area for glasses / spectacles and stuff, by heads when in bed mode, so I don't keep knocking my water over or crumpling them
There's a plane at JFK, to fly you back from far away
all those dark and frantic transatlantic miles
