Enjoy -- but I've got to say, for me, the KL implementation of the 787 business class is not great. My only other 787 experience was on VN and I think VN made a better seat selection.
My biggest gripe about the KL seat is the placement of the controls for both the seat and the handheld entertainment controller. The seat controls are right where I put my arm and just resting your arm wrong activates the seat controls. Same with the entertainment controller -- my shoulder bumped into it and activated it.
Here is a youtube vid of the VN seat -
and the KL seat -
In the vid you can see the placement of the KL seat controller - right where you rest your arm.
My most recent KL trip included both the 787 and the 777-3 and even though the 777 is 2-2-2, I thought the seats more comfortable.
