On AA72 at the moment, 3 hours away from LAX. While the appearance of the food served may not look that great, it sure is tasty. Having flown on QF128 from HKG-SYD in J on the A380 2 weeks ago, I would say that I much prefer the reverse herringbone seats on AA's 77W compared to Skybed Mark II. I did not have any issues with my seat padding shifting around when I slept. I was very comfortable and I manage to get 6-7 hours of sleep before I decided to wake up and work.
The only things I would nitpick about is that the blanket provided is too short! I'm only 6 ft and if I stretched out all the way, I wouldn't have anything covering my feet. The other thing is I don't think the seats are as soft as CX's reverse herringbone seats on their 77W and A330s. Didn't wear my PJs but I'll post some pictures later in the night. Currently AA is still providing the standard collectible amenity kits which they have on their TATL services. But I do believe that those who are flying after march might be getting newer ones.
Edit: I went to try to take some pictures and.. I was given a big no no given that it was a 'security risk'. I just read something similar on Ben's OMAT about someone being threatened by FAs for taking pictures of the cabin but I didn't know it was this widespread.
Did some digging around and it looks like the aircraft I'm on was the one that was diverted back to LHR earlier this week.
