Japan Airlines - Boeing 787 Dreamliner

[blu]

JL to get a two class 787 on 25 March 2012.
Seating is sure to be controversial.
Business - 171 degrees recline not Lie Flat (2-2-2). Economy - only 31" pitch (2-4-2).

Also there are Toto washlets for those interested in bidet plumbing (in business).

LOWER cabin pressure? I hope they mean the cabin is pressurised at an equivalent of a lower altitude.

Which they do state later in the paragraph. Still, badly written.

In J :9 degrees (5%) short of 180 degrees flat. Will it matter? In Y: 31" ... OMG.

Since aircraft fly at a incline usually between 1-4 degrees, it probably won't be that noticeable that it is not 180 lie flat.

But seats in both classes are WIDER... 5 cm in Business and 2 cm in Economy.

QF skybed mk1 is 8degrees by comparison !!!

And 31 inches, isn't that the same as QF and SQ?

I actually find fully lie flat seats a little strange as the aircraft pitch in some cases makes it feel like your head is actually downhill. Hopefully they are a little longer than the seats in their 777s - at 6'2" I find them too short.
