Wouldn't be hard to retrofit doors to VA's, QF's or many other airlines products I'd imagine, if they really wanted to go down that path. I see this as their way of competing with the Middle East considering they don't offer a true First product. I still think it ultimately comes down to the soft product, what food and drinks they offer etc and how that is presented...

It's just a bit more involved than that :shock:. Many regulatory bodies/regulations need to be satisfied/passed for any seat design to be certified as safe to be installed on aircraft....it's not just a case of 'retrofitting' a door to an existing seat:shock:

Have to say these look pretty good. Not an airline I've really considered for long-haul before, so these seats are doing their job already.

I agree they couldn't just install them overnight, but I'm sure it wouldn't take years is what I'm saying, in most cases that is ;)
