just found this over on A'net take a look at the interior shots about halfway down the page,to be honest and as is mentioned in a couple of the postings,seating looks a little cozy and thats with the interior not fitted [:0]

Also found this it's an article about the introduction of the 346 and the problems VS had with them.

Yes, but remember this is the Upper Deck and the curve shape is making things look a little cramped. There is also no real way to tell if these are the same seats that will be fitted on passenger aircraft.

Just to add, to me those seats look like old style US carrier business seats, rather than those shown at the top of the page which look like newer style business type seats

Aren't those seats pictured 4th up from the bottom with the words La Clase Ejecutiva the old VS J2000 seats?

what im more worried aboutis the head room,rather than the elbowroom,if your in a window seat and even slightly tall your going to be hitting your head no matter what,when the bins go in there will be next to no headroom.

Dave, at 6'3" I quite agree with your concerns and you could be correct. I am happy to wait and see and if this is the case I guess it will be lower deck only for me...

I think you're right, those look exactly like J2000 seats, just a different colour!

Those are definitely the J2000's!!! Doesn't matter how much UCS you get, you cannot forget the trusty J's..... I am 6"4 and seriously concerned by these early shots of the 380...... Don't take the 744 away just yet!!!!

Well from this picture, it seems as though Airbus will attempt to solve that problem. But I hit my head even if I sit in the middle section, no matter what deck I'm on, so unless they take them completely away I'm stuck!
