Just did some fare searches ex-IAD on MS and saw no deals to some of my preferred destinations. Going ex-YYZ on MS was half the price.

And YYZ gets the 789 starting this fall.

Not on the new 787-900 that they will be flying on that route...it will be the new 180 degrees lie flat herringbone seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, unlike the ones on their 773s in a 2-3-2 which are lie flat but are more like 170 degrees...not quite 180.

eagle92 thanks for the information on the new seats. That plane does not show on their web site or seat guru.

One of the bloggers has done some photo work on it. Not a lot of details on seat dimensions, pitch, etc.

I believe it is the same seat that QR uses in their A359 (non QSuite) product.

That's because their first 789 was literally just delivered to the carrier about a week ago...
