Lots of things are wrong with the Nightmareliner and no, it i nowhere near as silent as the A380, not even close.
But you know it for yourself, you rode the UA Barbie Jet which has the same seating as the much bigger 777. The seats the tiny to use an euphemism.
And now that even NH uses the crippled seating on this bird, I go out of my way not to fly routes that use 787s.
It might be that I got an isle seat with the free seat next to me, plus laptop recently loaded with House of Cards season 3 to enjoy…
I've gotten a new perspective on Economy lately. If no need for sleep or drunken stupor, then there is no need for Business class, as long as the aircraft is new and seat next to one is not occupied…
While I agree ... how do you control the latter parameter?
