While certainly a proper PE product (compared to the old one) not sure it sounds entirely, it doesn't sound like it's entirely comparable to BA's WTP to be honest. BA has an extra inch in space and feels more than just slightly more legroom than Y, and you definitely get proper glassware not plastic. I don't know about LY's but WTP's latest seats are incredibly comfortable too. What about the meal in LY's PE? Is it standard Economy or better?

Yep, that's a common problem on all airlines 787s unfortunately.

Assume you mean just in Y...?
