I'm hopeful that it's a good game change (as opposed to the ones that happened to the changes to silver and gold membership).

If anyones gets a chance to look behind the curtain, it'd be great to get some info

I won't get my hopes up. But sounds interesting.

Where is this from? Be careful as it might be against the copyright rule to just copy and paste it.

I guess it's about salt and pepper pots ... only VS marketing could make something mundane sound amazing!

Thanks Hamster

The fact that it is in the public domain does not mean it is not subject to copyright. Newspapers are in the public domain but are still subject to copyright

Good to hear, I was only going by what's said on the copyright announcement on the departure lounge page.

So is anyone going?

What about a new J food service, maybe introduction of something like book the cook? Or is that asking for too much?

That says simply not to cut and paste huge screeds of text but to link to the original source.

I take it that it is ok to quote a small excerpt as long as there is a link to the source.

That said I took a quick look at the brochure and there really is nothing to see!!

Looks like the new Upper Class food service has been announced. Maybe it is the new UCS!

Surely it must be? These are due to enter service soon aren't they?!

Nope. The announcement is clear, No copy/paste, just link to the original article.

I think we need to have a Poll organised right now! I'm voting for #6!

Grapes?! Surely it should be cherry tomatoes dipped in gravy?

I will vote for option 6.
although option 2 is more likely.

Anyone off to this tomorrow? First showing of the new UC Suite???

I was there on Tuesday afternoon. The VS stand was quite large and right near the entrance. However it wasn't overly clear what the purpose was!

The only things on show were two glass walls full of the new red crew shoes; plus surrounding the two large meeting areas for corporate discussions in the middle of the stand were further displays of the glasses, mugs and plates from the UC cabin.

So no new seats, nothing. Absolute wasted opportunity. There were brocuhures for W and current J, and a fleeting reference that there is £100m being invested in the new J cabin and service but little more. Only potential highlight was a competition to win 2 J tickets.

So whilst they had actual crew parading around the show with the cake stands that have been re-introduced they missed the entire point of the show. In my role, I control a very large travel budget and I had to stand waiting whilst they could find someone to talk to me about my interest in the new YVR route as it could be useful for a number of conferences I send staff to each year. They had to take my details and get back to me with the days it was operating and what time the flights were.
