First photos of Jetstar's new 787 seats

[SteveJohnson]

AusBT have posted these photos they're the economy seats from Jetstar's 787 as seen in Boeing's 'Dreamliner Gallery' in Seattle where airlines choose 'off the shelf' seats for their 787s.

That front row has plenty of leg room

Why does one seat have a solid arm rest vs the others that are what I consider normal/regular arm rests?

Those 'front row' seat armrests may hold the entertainment screen mechanism for swivellings upwards from below the solid armrest and/or the meal tray?

Correct. They look to hold both.

More importantly what will the configuration be - 3 - 3-3 or a stingy and squashy 3- 4- 3?
Any info on this? Royal Brunei has gone 3 -3 -3 and 2- 2- 2 in business. JoyV

Who's configured it with 3-4-3? That would be very squishy. Most (including JQ) have gone with 3-3-3. The Japanese carriers have gone with 2-4-2.

It's rather ironic that some of the thinnest-built population has the wider seats available on their home airlines.

Some sadistic airlines run 777s with 3-4-3 such as EK, NZ and Scoot.

Ah yes, but it is 38cm/15" wider cabin width, meaning, depending on aisle-width, it's really not that much "squishier" than a 3-3-3 in the 787. The worst offenders are those with 3-3-3 in the 20cm/8" narrower (than 787) A330 (Air Asia X!)

The JQ 787 be in FNQ according to Cairns Post Oct, 15, 16, 18 and family/media day of 21st.
