Sad, but true. Shame about the noise all that efficiency eminates through the cabin though......if they sorted that then it would be a truly great machine to travel on.

I have only been on 340-600's (of SAA amongst others) but the difference between that and any 777 is stark so I imagine the 500 is the same. Don't even start on comparing with the mighty 380!
