Ben, your av-geek articles are particularly useful. Not that I will ever fly Ethiopian and enjoy its new seats.

But, the ball continues to move forward. Thanks.
Slightly off topic, but does ET still serve the airplane-shaped graham crackers in business class?
I haven't seen them served in any class for years. I once asked for a couple extra to give to the kids at home. They gave me a bag of literally 100 packages. Needless to say, they didn't all make it home.

LOL! I'd have done the same thing...
The product inconsistency is gonna go through the roof lol. Just hope that they will install this on all of their modern widebodies too.
No, they have a new vendor for Business Class cocktail snacks since 2000. They are now serving "Taralli Gusto Classico" vegan biscuits by "Fiore di Puglia".
Not a fan of this cramped seat.. that’s always described as “customised” but reality the 4x airlines that I have seen have taken a different coloured version. I was disappointed when I flew it on Qatar branded as Qsuite and I am not looking forward to it becoming Americans backbone when there are so many independent luxury seats out there to choose from.
The Flyertalk thread on the subject says this upgrade has been delayed.
