Business:
Lots of privacy (except if your solo on the odd-row middle - then its not private at all, but worse than the 777/747) but extremely cramped. Its almost like lying in an MRI for 10 hours.
Premium Economy:
Comparable to BA, but IMHO not worth the price above regular coach if you also want to get full status points for the flight. Slightly more legroom than Y, maybe 1/2 inch wider in the seat. My personal beef: serving fine wine in plastic cups is cheap and a stupid way to differentiate between P and C.
Economy:
Tighter than the other aircraft. Nowhere to move. Sitting in the aisle is a downright hazard with FA's and carts bumping into you all the time.
General:
The only thing good about this AC is the entertainment system - but don't worry - LY probably won't update the content for about 3 years, so this too will suck soon.
No wifi. Excuses, excuses. Everybody has wifi these days. Its a brand new ac. Where is the wifi?
Bottom line: LY's "Dreamliner" is a HUGE disappointment. Much rather fly the 777 - just upgrade the VOD.
Flying on board next week in J, so I am now semi-looking forward to the flight. Shame about wifi as you expect the Israelis are at the forefront of technology so something as easy as onbard wifi is on thB789.
