Rather than write another length report, I've downsized a series of photos of IFE, the seat. Captions will say it all. NB, poor quality of IFE pics is because I had to downsize pics for the board. The quality is truly superb.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I guess I was lucky to have flown on that aircraft (C-VRAY, delivered 30th March 2012!). Here's a better photo than mine:

I can't add more than 10 attachments, so I'll stop there. I don't have many pics of the city, because I was there working, and it's not relevant to the flight. Suffice it to say, it is a terrific city. Getting downtown on the Skytrain was a doddle, and there is some great eating too.

Brilliant, thank you. Your pics, and a colleague of mine who was in the VS4 this last week, also confirm that when in bed mode, the new suite is much narrower around the head. Looks like we'll never get that confirmed from VS though!

It is a little narrower, but I didn't find it intrusive. The pillow is much better, and that more than compensates. I DID miss the little pop-up cubicle where I put my glasses!

Which is fine until you push it down into bed mode and then it refuses to pop up again!

....or won't even stay down at all, making sleeping very uncomfortable. I've seen many crew fighting with those arm rests, so I guess that's why they are gone now.

my last flight a CC was trying to tape it down with the ubiqitous yellow/black tape

Thanks for the TR and the pics. Special thanks for commenting on the classical music options. You are not the only one...

Thanks for the TR and photos .The new system looks really good

Glad you had such a great trip. I see miss sunshine has gone to YVR again today

Guessing she's bringing SRB back to LHR maybe?
