My main worry is if the armrest can fold up between the seats (I like to book 2 seats sometimes).
Besides the narrow seats, another major reason to avoid the 787 on QR is because the armrests never fully fold up. The end always sticks out, making a free seat next to you fairly useless.

The arm-rest query is a fair point, and likely not one we will know until someone tries the new seat and checks.

I fly both Qatar and Emirates and one thing I've noticed in the past year is that Qatar has removed most games from the Oryx media package to the point that it's pitiful. But Emirates has scads and scads of game options. I find it intriguing.

It really is no big difference, the main thing is new service wares, new wine glass, bigger cups. Also gone is the coffee/tea stirrer spoon pack in which you only use either but given both.
Also, pre-meal drinks service is back, so is sparkling wine.

interesting, thanks. any idea as to when it will be expanded? seems like it's more complicated to have different meal systems (dishes etc) for flight tranches...
European flights for now.
