For a regular Y traveller out of Adelaide I hope the 787 will have as comfortable seats as the 330. Recently flew on the A350 and found the IFE great but the back of the seat was very uncomfortable.
Does anyone know if the 787 will go the 3-3-3 in Y?

The only true upgrade here will be for sectors currently on A330 services (2-2-2 business), as I assume the 787 will have 1-2-1 business class. For economy I found the A330/777/A380 marvellous. Lets hope the 787 won't be too much of a downgrade?

I assume your comment only refers to 777-300? I find the 777-200 very noisy. Not a bad seat but lie-flat is surely better. And some of the old 777-200s have unbelievably ancient IFE, not just bad screens but very limited range of options (at least in economy, I think in J they have a slightly better product).

777-300 seems to rattle like an old Toyota Corolla
. I guess the internal fittings and fixtures are showing their age.

People need to see through the marketing spin. Current 777 and 380 products across business and economy are better (apart from IFE screens) than the A350. The newly announced first class seems to be the only true 'up'grade. I haven't seen the 787 offering on SIA yet so can't comment on that.
The only true upgrade here will be for sectors currently on A330 services (2-2-2 business), as I assume the 787 will have 1-2-1 business class. For economy I found the A330/777/A380 marvellous. Lets hope the 787 won't be too much of a downgrade?

Give me an A350 (better wifi, ife and seats in Y) over a 777 any day of the week.

It still has long haul flat beds so good for the J passengers.
