Having spent almost all of this year (all but 3 of 42 long-haul flights) on a 777 or A321T and then having just got off a 11.5hr 787 sector the other day, I have to say I prefer that for any long-haul sector. Even if it means a less than ideal outcome in terms of cost / seat assignment.
The feeling coming off a 787 - skin, hydration, fatigue - is far better. I can only imagine it’s even more noticeable after 14 + 8 hour sectors!
Is there anyone who has a comparison between the 77W and 789 experience on the same ultra-long haul sectors?
