New 787 Business Hard Product
Has anyone flown the new business class product on the EY 787s? If so, how was it? they seem to be on a familiarisation tour at the moment from BOM to EU airports and now to JFK... until its assigned to AUH-IAD for a regular frequency.

I can see a few seatmaps, but the most accurate for window palcements seems to be here, https://www.aerolopa.com/ey-789-3

If thats the case, row 9 is a windowless row with 7 and 10 having 2 full windows? I guess once a few people have flown then seatguru and other sites will get updates?

looks like they stuck the CEO in front of row 10 at that angle to hide the windowless seat haha!

let me know how the flight goes.

At least he can speak in a classy manner, unlike CEOs of U.S. airlines

All rows have 1.5-2 windows, apart from 9(picture above) and 5 (only 1 window)

I sat in 5H on the 789 with F-class.
The footwell was way too narrow. Could not lie flat.
I did not like this hard product.
Only UAE/UK style power ports. There was one USB port as well i think.
