Right, #PaxEx time! @Aeroflot’s entire @Airbus A350 interior is from @CollinsAero. Business class is a new staggered doored suite product called Horizon, in a 1-2-1 layout. #avgeek pic.twitter.com/4yEyP1HlzW

Economy is the @CollinsAero Aspire, in the wide @Airbus 3-3-3 A350 layout. This is a great seat — absolutely bags of room even for my 6’3”/1m90, Russian bear-shaped frame. #PaxEx #avgeek pic.twitter.com/ZKM9heGz5F
