First Boeing 787 Dreamliner Flight - Seattle Tokyo - Report
Earlier this week, I flew on the launch flight of ANA´s Dreamliner 787 service from Seattle to Tokyo.
Although we had a delay due to a mechanical problem, the flight was still incredible.
The seat was very comfortable; it definitely has a suite-like feel. Service was of course excellent as was the food. And the flying was definitely more comfortable thanks to the advanced Dreamliner technologies.
I documented every aspect of it with lots of photos (a few are below) so please take a look:

The Boeing Dreamliner is the newest, sleekest, and most rarely-seen airliner currently in service. If you want to fly on it from the United States, you currently only have two choices and one of them is ANA (All Nippon Airways) the launch customer for the program.

One of the differences with the window-oriented seats is that there is much more additional privacy. I really didn't see anyone except the occasional top of someone's head. I was also more or less hidden from view.
There are also center seats with two side tables, such as 2F, 4F, etc.
I really wanted a window seat (to play with the electronic window shade of course) but these center seats have a lot of room.
I hope this is helpful - please feel free to ask me additional questions if you wish.

I would avoid 1A and 1K. The have large (high) closets installed between the leg well and the aisle right in your face making the seat feel claustrophobic. Any other odd row in A or K is fine.
