I have. You can see it in my rankings.

To me it was not so memorable. Seat isn't nearly as comfortable as it's nearest one world competitor, CX. And the cabin is larger (read: more seats) , which means less space.

What's the deal with Transaero Imperial Class? Looks stunning from the pictures, but there's not much info or trip reports to be found online.

Can't wait to see their A380:

Quote

Imperial class is a unique Transaero Airlines product. The A380 aircraft will feature 12 closed suites with luxury seats, which extend into full-flat beds. Separation and division from neighboring seats will be possible using retracting blinds, which will ensure privacy and comfort in each personal area. The seats in Imperial class will be the largest in their class and will be upholstered with fabric glittering with shades of gold. Additionally, it will be possible for both a passenger and his/her personal flight attendant to remotely control the electric window shades. Moreover, each suite will have an external light indication system in order to provide a comfortable and high level of servicing. The Imperial class cabin will be located in the front of the aircraft on the lower deck and will feature 1-2-1 seat configuration.

Either 2 E/K if want to be together, or 2A/3A if both want windows, and then just dine tog.

Luckys review on AA F. He didn't even mention what AJK mentioned about the office chair. AJK, do you agree with him? (didn't sound so from your review)

Think you missed the mark on this one.

I found AA’s F on the 773 to be pretty darn good. Two awesome features: 1) Air nozzles! How airlines can offer F without air nozzles is beyond me, and 2) the ability to swivel the seat 90 degrees to work at what honest to goodness feels like a work desk with the lamp on. I was able to get some real work done.

As for the bed, I slept very comfortably for 6-7 hours on the flight from DFW-GRU–didn’t find the bed at all too small. (Sure, it’s not CX, but it ain’t AA’s business class bed neitha.)

All in all, I was quite impressed with AA’s new F, and that’s especially so–not because of–considering we’re dealing with a US-based product.

Sure, they’re not SQ or LH or EY, and sure, they could have made the seats a bit more private, but I think your review is unduly critical.

I am booked on EY 77w MEL-AUH in F and AUH-MAN in J for 90k.
something opened up on QF A380 MEL-DXB-LHR-MAN in F except the last leg for 80k AA.

Should I change it? what if they charge me $150 is it still worth it?
I'm more toward changing just to experience F on another airline and its F all the way even though it may cost $150.
