Good news everyone. It seems that the 787 gets the AF NEW seat (Cyrus) in 1-2-1 config in J. Why do some think it's the Zodiac? Am I missing something?
Y is indeed 3-3-3

Maybe this has been answered before... Why is KLM going with an entirely new seat instead of their current 'new' J seat on the 747/777? (Not that I'm complaining, the Cirrus seat looks nicer.) Will the new Cirrus seat replace all J seats, including the relatively new ones?

According to luchtvaartnieuws.nl, the first 789 flight will be AMS-AUH-BAH on October 26.
Other rumored destinations are Cairo, Xiamen, Hong Kong, Quito-Guayaquil, Vancouver, Havana, Chengdu, Tokyo Narita, Rio de Janeiro and Fukuoka.

Anyone else going to be on the launch flights?
I have booked AMS-AUH-BAH on both the 25th and 26th.
KL is still telling me that the first 789 flight is on the 26th, despite what their website is showing. So I've got both dates on hold.

Has anybody been able to find any onward Etihad AUH-XXX destinations with KL codeshares (the Maldives or Seychelles would be nice) that can connect with the AMS-AUH 789?

Flying out of Dusseldorf into Ams or CDG and then on long haul business is not only cheaper, it also gives you approx 3750 more level miles. For example I have a Dus - Ams - Hkg - Ams - Dus scheduled in business which gives me 18158 miles - and an extra 4000 for paying with American express fb card. The way it looks now, I'll back to fb plat by May.
