Question about G-VWKD

Is G-VWKD the first aircraft to have the V-Port control on the back of the seat? If so, does anyone have a photo of this?

Thanks

G-VWKD only has 4 of the new PE and economy seats with the V:Port handset in the back of the seat. These seats were installed in G-VWKD as a trial only.

G-VWIN is the newest A346 which I think does have the new seats in economy only (though not in PE yet), although some of the crew on here will have a better idea.

All the A346's are now starting to get retro-fitted with the new seats in Premium and Economy and they will all get their new seating config as well (extra rows in PE and Economy)

Regards

The new seats have been trialled on G-VWKD but are not in operation on the newer metal.

Cheers,

G-VWIN had the new seats in Y class. The 3 new seats that are on G-WKD are still being trialed.

The new Y class seats are proving very popular with customers.
