EDA is on her way to HKG at the moment....
They renumbered all the seats!
Business now starts at Row 1 through 8 (was 9 through 16)
Premium now starts at Row 10 through 14 - added 1 row - (was 17 through 20)
Economy still starts at Row 21 - the first section goes through Row 28 on the ABC and DFG rows (was 21-30)...and through Row 30 (was Row 21-32) on the HJK. The back section of Economy now starts at Row 35, which is the exit row - that used to be 45. Seems to be the same amount of rows from there to the end, in practice..
Very interesting.

I expect the 777 to be renumbered as well

What is the best seat in business class for a couple traveling with an infant on 787-8? Anyone have any luck requesting a bassinet for infant more than 9 months?
I was thinking 4DG and based on what it says on EL AL seat selection. "easy access and special needs" vs "narrow access"

Definitely odd rows in middle! Are there bassinets in the section? Not sure where they would place them.
depending on the size of the child he won’t fit in the bassinet. Also when the seat belt sign goes on, you must hold child. Personally, it would be a lot safer if baby had his own seat and flew in a car seat. I’d buy 3 premium seats.,

- If the need for the 787-10 was there, they would have ordered it.
- Even if the need is there now, they cannot afford it.
