All those nooks and crannies though to store your stuff always worry me slightly.....more places to leave your stuff behind in.

The Premium Economy seat or cabin doesn't look particularly inspiring though IMHO.

Looks very good. Shame there isn't a VS service to connect to it at Abu Dhabi.

I love reverse herringbone layouts, you can actually see out the window without being an owl.
My only reservation is the article talks about the screens being touchscreen, they look to be quite far away from you. A remote control might be less sexy than touch but I think it would be a lot more usable.

There did look to be a remote control in first large storage area where the passenger has their phone plugged in to.

Finally! Nearly taken them 2 years to get this out due to crash certification issues!

Will be interesting to see some actual reviews of it though, it's the same seat as American Airlines 777-300's (any many other airlines) but more crammed in (less personal space). Reviews of the comfort of the AA seat aren't always too positive!
