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...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Will never waste my time reading another Ben Sandilands generated article. Much to do about nothing.
The airline buying the aircraft specifies the seating, not Boeing. The seating arrangement is airline vs airline, not Boeing vs Airbus.
Air New Zealand must have hired the same guy who configured some of the charter 757's. His motto would have been "If it can lift it, we'll pack it full."
I fully agree what Walter wrote. If comments on 787 / NOT seating, 4 flights between Denver and Narita: 2*12hrs + 2*10.5hrs 3: bus / 1 eco+, 12hrs. delete all seat related, 3 aspects, 787 is better than any equipments: A) Cabin numidity: Not much dry out, very good, B) Cabin air presure: little better, but little uncomfortable because if keep cabin presure colser to ground level, means more structural stress to body frame. Is this good enough when equipment get aged??? C) Cabin noise: Less noiser than 777 or 747, I fly offten. Fall into sleep every time easier than other eq flights. D) Cabin lighting: Little over exotic, and not used at first time, but later, started easier w no surprise when lighting got light blue/red/green etc. E) Best part is window size: I can see outside even no window seated. Larger windows gives enjoyable to see ouside @ take off or landing. Hope structural design is good enough to support such larger windows without problem. F) Plus centralized window darkness cntrol: This is great.
These are what I felt 787. Bottom: Good designed. Hope airlines could optimize confort and profit so air travel leave good memory to passengers.

The linked articles are woefully lacking in any quantified details. As best I can tell, the big miss on the Dreamliner is that you don't have room to put your toiletry kit by your shoulder while sleeping. The "Hobbit" headline is particularly misleading.
Wait a minute -- someone is complaining about not having enough room on an airplane? This is news indeed.
First World Problem: Not enough room in First Class seating. Life is rough.
