Even numbered window seats are close to the windows, "protected" from the aisle. But if you are hoping for more than a generic view of clouds/sky, you'll need to lean forward - or crane backwards. From memory, row six maybe offers the most conveniently located windows for viewing.
Yesterday's Dreamliner was a new aircraft. Yet the inflight screens behaved skittishly, turning themselves back on a couple of minutes after being turned off. Annoying for sleeping: had to turn the brightness down to a minimum.
Still, an improvemt on my last 787 flight, which had my seat stuck in bed-mode and IFE sound kaput.
Only the single forward lav was dedicated to the use of passengers in the (full) business-class cabin. Passengers from economy were queueing for both the lavs at the rear of the cabin.
Crew were mostly newbies to the Dreamliner, and a bit flustered. So much so, I avoided complications such as dine on demand, and accepted dinner at 3am, breakfast at 7pm shortly before landing.
Cabin chief said she disliked the working environment.

I'm looking for flights WAW-DPS in C and 1 of the options is TK. The other option is QR for a similar price, but their schedule includes an 8h layover outbound which I would like to avoid. I have flown QR before and they really earn the price for best airline in C.
Flying TK however secures me another year *A gold which gives me nice advantages on my intra EU travel with LO.
What would you recommend? Is there any diference in cabin layout or in seats on the 787?
