Aeroflot has today officially unveiled its new Boeing 777 business class seats, which are impressive, but different than the carrier’s new Airbus A350 business class seats.

The business class seat is identical to the one on Qatar Airways' new B787-9 .
@Ben will there be air nozzles? Aeroflot was pretty warm, if I remember correctly.
Ben, you make the point that Aeroflot is inconsistent when it comes to their new business class seats on the two aircraft types. Quite frankly, it's not a difference I would worry about because they're both really great seats. Better than their older diamond aerospace seat and much better than Emirate's 'new' 2-3-2 business class configuration.
The inconsistent seats could possibly be because the Collins Aerospace Horizon seat is not yet certified on the 777 while the Collins Super Diamond already is. Regardless of layout, the A350 Horizon suites are preferable because the privacy panels are much higher (with Horizon the walls are higher than the seat like the Qatar Qsuite but on the Aeroflot/British doored Super Diamond the walls don't even reach the top of the seat.
As for the Comfort Class, it makes sense to reduce the size of the cabin, based on my observations. I fly Aeroflot a lot. Prior to the pandemic, I'd do 30 or more Aeroflot flights per year, usually in Comfort Class. I specifically chose flights operated by the 777 for this. I can truthfully say that a majority of the flights had light comfort class loads. It wasn't uncommon for the cabin to be less than half-full, and a handful of times I was one of only 2 or 3 passengers, although economy and business were full. I have no idea why, as I found it to be a great value.
The response is greater than a regular 777-300er can be indeed a good one at 390 rom.
Stick a door on a 10-across Y seat and this blog end up calling it "phenomenal"...
I must have missed that part of the review. Where did he mention doors on the Y seats?
With very few exceptions (e.g., Delta), 10 across has become the standard for the 777. I do not fly in cattle class, but I feel for all the people who get crammed into those tiny seats for long haul flights.
This 777 is so beautiful, in my opinion, It is the best 777 in the world, I really like their colours
* 48 premium economy (comfort) class seats, in a 2-4-2 configuration
Looking forward to trying on LAX-SFO route!

Is it me or is that flight attendant really tall?

10 abreast in Y, disgusting.....
