| Flight Experience
On these routes, you’ll find two cabin layouts.
On the 787-9, it’s a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout with lie-flat seats. In this layout, each seat has direct aisle access. On the 787-8, it’s a 2-2-2 layout with lie-flats but only the middle section gets direct aisle access without a neighbor needing to climb over you.
While this isn’t a cutting-edge business class experience, it’s a nice seat, the crew should be friendly, and the inflight catering is solid. |
