With only 4 F seats, I hope there's a crew rest area somewhere!

Saying an airport Chipotle is better than CZ business class catering is, I think, just a joke?

The food taste of this blogger is rather hard to imagine

Clearly you've never had Chipotle's chicken burrito bowl, CZ's business class catering, or both.

But Lucky, if there are only 4 seats, where will the crew, friends/relatives of the crew, and people willing to pay for a nap sleep?

I wouldn't get too excited about that Premium Economy product. They are using the same seat as AF. As someone who has suffered through the AF Y+ product, I would never pay to do that to myself again. It's really sad that AF, AZ and now CZ have all chosen a dedicated premium economy seat that is less comfortable than UA's Economy Plus (which is just regular economy seat with added pitch).

Can we be sure they will be serving that $5 a bottle "shampagne"? 😉

@ Lucky - do you guys not have Freebirds in Seattle or Tampa? Much better than Chipotle 😀

@ Ivan Y -- We have Chipotle and Qdoba, though I've never heard of Freebirds.

@ Lucky - Freebirds started in California and that's where most locations are along with Texas. You are always in California so check it out -- I guarantee it will be better than CZ's food! 😛

I am a bit surprised that China Southern decides to maintain the nine abreast economy class configuration! I wonder if it has anything to do with the proposed ultra long haul flights to JFK!

Anyway it looks nice and let hope China Southern can work on the soft ware now! Service!
