Royal Jordanian's New Dreamliners
I noticed that RJ is phasing in their new 787's on the AMM-JFK and AMM-ORD routes during the month of October'14. But afterwards those flights are going back to the old 340's. Any idea why the change is only for a month? Is this a test period, or just an incomplete schedule update?

Update: RJ Dreamliners yanked out of North American 2014 flights altogether, reassigned to Asia and the Middle East.

AMMAN — The first Boeing 787 Dreamliner joined the Royal Jordanian (RJ) fleet on Wednesday night, bearing the name of Crown Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah II.
RJ said on Thursday that the addition is part of a strategic plan it is implementing to modernise its fleet of long-range aircraft.
This year will also see the introduction of four additional Dreamliners, an aircraft each month on average, according to an RJ statement.
By the end of 2014, there will be five, whereas the remainder of the order will join the fleet during the next few years.

Does anyone have pictures of the interior of the new planes?
I'm planned to fly one of the new Dreamliners in October (BKK-AMM) and wondered if the J class is the same as in the A330 or better.

Interior shots are scattered throughout Twitter and Facebook, just search for RJ or Royal Jordanian.
There also is a very good YouTube video that's basically a tour through the plane.

Interior IFE is by Thales. Product is Avant, 17" seatback screens in Crown Class and 10.6" screens in Economy.

Crown Class appears to be true lie flat very similar to the new American Airlines 777-300 business class in 2x2x2 configuration

A few days ago I noticed that on checkmytrip my Oct 11th BKK-AMM flight has been changed from the 787 to an a330.
ITA still shows the flight as operated by the Dreamliner.
Does anyone know which website should I believe?

I would believe the operating airline's website (RJ.com) -- where your flight is listed to be on an A330.
