AA 787 dreamliner coach comments?
I was fortunate to see the 787 unveiled while covering the event up at Boeing on 07/08/2007.
All the airline execs were there ordering their interiors and the airplane was really toted for being more fuel efficient.
A huge push behind this airplane was using design and planning to make it appear more spacious, hence the large windows and the large entrance foyer, as well as the overhead cabin design. Also, the cabin pressurization is different to allow better comfort. Some of these chagnes may be good whilst others may be smoke and mirrors/
Also you can't forget they crammed in all this personal entertainment, in the hopes that you'll forget being canned like sardines....part of that smoke and mirrors...
So bearing all that in mind, I have read a lot about the business class section. But how good/bad is the coach class experience? I understand AA really crammed in the coach class seats and the one report I read was that it was pretty tight in coach. While that may be the case, do the other design aspects help make for a better flight in coach? Is the personal entertainment, the large windows and the air cabin pressure making it more tolerable in coach?
(Bear in mind, I know there was an inaugural flight, but wasn't sure if it was in full service yet.)
