What Frequent Flyers Should Know

  1. Space over recline: THE Room FX uses a pre-reclined backrest. You “lounge” on a sofa-style seat rather than push back into a slope.
  2. Privacy first: Every seat has a full-height door. Perfect for focused work or undisturbed rest.
  3. Tech upgrades: From larger screens to wireless charging and Bluetooth audio, the suite hits modern comfort marks.
  4. Potential trade-offs: Some travelers may miss fine-tuned recline angles or find backwards-facing seats unusual until in flight.
