What are the main differences between PE in a 343 and PE in a 346?
I see that there are Kash seats, but can anyone enlighten me on what to expect?
Thanks
Ron

PE in a 346 will have V:port and will have a legrest.
also in the 346 the seats will not be as worn.

i dont think it is fair to say that the A346 seats are going to be less worn than A343 equivilent. Yes....the A346 is newer aircraft therefore the seats are going to be newer, but VA do refurbish there seats and the condition should always be of a high standard.
I have flown in both types of PE seats on the A346 and the 744 and there isnt really a great deal of difference IMO.

on G-VAST (oydessy equipped) I noticed that the seats in PE had foam showing near the PTV, and the cover of one of the PTVs themselves had been pulled away.

the jetliner pic of PE should with leg rest, don't think the 343 has leg rest just foot rests.
