Flew on one in October. Redeye LA-Chicago. Smooth and quiet. It was nice. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Dec 8, 14:55 1
- yeah, i've flown them from LA-London. they're fine. economy is just a slightly nicer cattle car -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 8, 15:07
It's fine. It's newer and all. It doesn't have window shades!!! - ty97 Dec 8, 14:26 8
- yeah. it's ok. I prefer an A380 or even a 777ER. - mafic Dec 8, 16:28
- That's part of why I want to be in a seat in one. ;-) - JD Dec 8, 14:33 3
  - I think the 777x (which hasn't has not entered service yet with any airline) will have folding wingtips. - ty97 Dec 8, 14:36 2
    - Oh. Actually that's right. Well there's still the engine cowling diameter being larger than a 737 fuselage thing -- nm - JD Dec 8, 14:38 1
      - Years ago, we deplaned a 777 at Frankfurt down stairs to a bus so we were on the tarmac next to the plane. - ty97 Dec 8, 14:40
- My main problem with the 787 is that is was designed to be 8-across seating and comfortable. The airline, of course, made them 9-across seating.. - ty97 Dec 8, 14:28 2
  - I wonder how much more people would pay for a ticket in one that was 8-across. - the wrong element Dec 8, 17:20
  - I was on an Air France A350 on the way back from site. it was nice. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 16:32
