How was the Economy galley/lav layout? Are they using the same slimline lavs that have raised so much controversy on the AA 737-Max 8s?
Was in economy - I was seated in the exit row (Row 18), so didn't really notice any difference in pitch. And to be honest, had just come off an overnight long-haul so wasn't paying too much attention.
I did notice the seating fabric had a new pattern to it. On the bulkhead divider between cloud 9 and economy, there seemed to be more crew/cabin storage on either side (I recall there was usually only storage on one side previously). Thinking back, the economy lav did seem to be quite narrow, so I'm assuming they are the same slimline lavs. Should've paid a bit more attention / took some photos
