ANZ are not copying, it is the VS UCS. Not 100% sure they are using it as First Class though, i think they have gone to a two class config & they are using this as a Business/First hybrid.

It just proves how good the product is when other airlines want to buy it from you!!!!

If you do a search you will find some previous topics on this.

It is the BFB (Britax Flat Bed) that is licensed from VS - http://www.contour.aero/start.html

ANZ have indeed consolidated their F and C classes to create a J offereing, with J following the industry meaning of Premium Business.

Thanks,

Sorry guys, I'm going to lock this topic.

As Richard says, this has been discussed many many times on here, and it'd be nice if we could avoid repeating the entire thread again ;)
