Was on EDA tonight (LY’s first Dreamliner). As expected, major signs of wear and tear wherever you look.
Seats in Premium Y all scratched up, not reclining properly, parts of the restrooms are being hold together by tape.
Very disappointing and not very surprising to see LY doesn’t keep these in good shape, 5 years from now they will look just as bad as the 777 does today.

Although outdated, I have always found LY cabins to be maintained properly.

I still think it would've made more sense to just make 'em all 9's but hey, Im not responsible for running the airline into the ground!

The 787-10 will probably replace the 777 in 6/7 years
