something that was drawn to my attention, all images of the new planes dont have the (door 2) option. I wondered if this is what the new planes are, i dont know which vietnam ones they are but it wouldnt be logical for first choice to have only a (door 1) due to the class layout and boarding proceduers.

Surely the 2-door approach would be better?

That way, economy passengers can board the aircraft and make a right turn and the premium economy passengers (let's not call it First Class) can make a left turn. The 1-door option would mean that economy passengers have to trek through the posh part of the aircraft. :D

thats what i thought, but ill have to try and find out. The economy pax will board after premier so whilst they are enjoying bowls of strawberrys they will have 300 economy pax walking through. Or maybe this is ultimate economy, no airbridge for them, back door only.
