Air NZ’s 787 Dreamliners may be better suited to hobbits than people
Airlines that fly Boeing 787s have a real problem to deal with. It’s inferior in seating space in some important respects to Boeing 777s and Airbus A380s and A350s. (blogs.crikey.com.au) Más...

The author of this article must be getting paid by the # of words that are written. As noted below the entire article has absolutely NO substance nor evidence to support the spurious contents!!!
Typical Ben Sandilands crap, the heading might be catchy but the article itself is a rambling slab of nonsense.
Ben Sandilands never allows any detail about what is specifically wrong with NZ accommodations. He simply offers that seating is "cruel and unusual", inferior and on and on. The man also suggests that the average Kiwi is overweight. No dimensions are referenced. "Air NZ’s 787 Dreamliners may be better suited to hobbits than people" is a stupid article that sounds more like a poison pen letter, or a petulant rant than an informative aritcle.
As much as I would love to take a trip to New Zealand and Australia it's not going to happen until I can afford at least business class. All of the airlines seem to go out of there way to make economy class as uncomfortable as possible, and on a trip of that length it's just not going to be worth it for me.
Sometimes think they need to bring back some of the older single aisle aircraft e.g. 707/DC8's. There 6 abreast was tight but seemed much more comfortable than anything flying today.

Will never waste my time reading another Ben Sandilands generated article. Much to do about nothing.
The issue is NOT first class where there is more than enough room. The issue is in economy where the working stiffs who fly for their work get stuffed into unreasonable seats
I flew on a 777-300er from Yvr - Lhr. Window seat economy class and a big gal sat next to me. So my back was half on window and backrest. The flight itself was smooth but if you dropped your pen filling out the customs form it's gone. Reminded me of Air Transat and the A330. I was thinking why would they call it wide body plane when the toilet seat is bigger than yer seat.
Came to Canada in '86 in a Nationair DC 8 or 9. from Gatwick. That was scary.
