Something to celebrate the end of the 787 drought

[pmdg7444]

Welcome to my inaugural TR on AFF!

Having browsed many enjoyable TRs here, I've decided its about time I do one of my own. With the news that 787 is finally resuming flying... what better way to kick off than to showcase what flying on the Dreamliner is all about.

Whilst not as detailed as the a.net TR, I think I'll the the pictures do the talking.....

interior shots:

Y class seats

Large galley



Legroom; plentiful for me


Inspiration of Japan IFE; Panasonic eX2 system with full touch screen functionality

You can see the remote is conveniently next to the screen, maximising elbow room.

Additional USB and media port

The Western lunch option of chicken with lots of interesting sides. BUT WHERE'S THE DESSERT?????. Massive meal tray - like on EK.


Japanese breakfast. A slightly smaller meal tray. Metal cutlery provided + drinks service with each meal

I like the little postcard each passenger gets to keep:



Mood lighting detail

Rising sun over the land of the rising sun

No TR is complete without details of the lav:


Clean and modern


Hand sensing motion activated - no need to push a button for flush


Japanese toilet functions built in too!




During the night, the FAs leave little courtesy reminder notes that there are snacks and drinks in the galley. How nice!
