From a product PoV, the interiors should be the same as the 787-10 but for an improved PRM solution for Club. I would’ve hoped for Bluetooth connectivity but I don’t think it’s going to come. Which is a massive shame.

It really depends on the FAA for BKA. The plans I saw don’t see the certification coming prior to Q4.

Anyone seen a revised 789 seat map yet?

RyanLee81 - do we have the internal codes for the B789 fleet defied yet? i.e. the CS B788 is B78E, what is the CW and CS equivalent for the B787-9 program?

Given we have a CS seat map, I've created a specific B787-9 thread B787-9 Club Suite Refurb.

I've noticed a 788 is on a Las Vegas rotation next summer, on occasional days alongside the 350.
I'll get flamed for this, but I was disappointed with the 350 experience last year so I'm delighted to try the 788, seeing as all the sub fleet should have CS by then.

I flew out to PHL in 1K. Plane was rattly, felt very plasticy and cheap, and the noise from the galley of opening and closing cabinets was a bit annoying (though that was specific to the seat location).
Ended up asking to move to vacant 5K in the lounge for the return, much to the surprise of the desk lady. An American lady was walking past and had heard the conversation and asked to have my 1K!
I'm just probably too used to the 777. I do like the 787, and never experienced the "cheap" (my opinion) build quality of the 350.
