I find it depends on airline and class of travel.
hat I like about LY 767 in Y is the roominess and comfort of the seats compared to others (787 is just not as comfy 9-abreast). They're actually quite comfortable. Also, lack of equipment box means your feet have somewhere to go. I dislike the fact that the seat in front of you can recline into your knees, the tiny overhead bins, and lack of outlets. I don't care about the lack of IFE as I bring my own.
In C, I hate it and would love the 787 in comparison.

Transavia is adding a second daily flight from AMS to TLV on Saturdays for the whole summer season starting March 31 2018.
Additionally, Transavia will operate a second daily flight AMS-TLV on Tuesdays and Thursdays from Thursday March 29 to Tuesday April 24. I do not really see the logic of those second daily flights on Tuesdays and Thursday except for the period right before and after Pesach/Easter as Pesach and Easter falls on almost same date in 2018. Pesach starts at sundown of Friday March 30th and Easter starts Sunday April 1st, so I see the need for extra flights right before and after Pesach/Easter however I do not understand the need for extra flights on April 10, 12, 17, 19 and 24?
Furthermore, Transavia is also adding a second daily flight from AMS to TLV on Wednesdays in specific peak-periods only (July 11 - August 29 and October 3 - October 31).
Besides that Transavia is also adding a weekly frequency on EIN-TLV services resulting in 3 weekly frequencies to TLV from EIN on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This is the first time that Transavia is having almost a double daily service to TLV from the Netherlands in specific peak-periods which is an incredible increase from 2015 when Transavia started its AMS-TLV services with just 3 weekly flights.

One Mile at a Time - Ukraine International Airlines Is Getting 777s
These are pretty dense 777-200s, with 21 business class seats and 319 economy class seats. Based on the seatmap, it looks like business class consists of three rows, in a 2-3-2 configuration. While I don’t love the middle seat in business class, here’s to hoping it’s an all around better business class product than what they have now.
Even though the configuration will be 3-4-3 in economy, that might actually still be more spacious than the 2-4-2 configuration they have on their 767s.

The new flight has much better timing out of MAD for connections (4:45PM), but I much prefer to have a wider choice of timings...
