Premium Plus on 787-10; Closet access?

I am on a flight to LAX on the 787-10 with new Premium Plus seats. Do you know if the FAs will give closet access to Prem Plus passengers. I will be carrying a suit in a garment bag and would like to have it placed in the closet instead of stuffed in my luggage or overhead. Any experience with this?

Thanks

I think you will be fine. I have seen numerous times FAs put a garment bag from Econ passenger into closets.
As long as there is room, I doubt you will be refused. If you are travelling in warm weather season, even better.

Ask nicely, and always better if it isn't huge / stuffed full.

Priority will be given to J pax.

I would ask nicely. The worst response would be no.

Heck, I have had FAs (of a lot of airlines) not caring about J pax personal wardrobe.

Is there even a closet on the aircraft? Most of the newer interiors eliminated them, replaced by hanging hooks behind the last row of F/J.

Pretty sure that's only the Airbus narrowbodies (the CR7 is also lacking a closet).

Suspect you are referring to EWR-LAX, as such, there are no PP fares for that flight, you are an economy passager and not PP and your service level is E+. Do not expect any extra privileges being in Row 20,21,22 of economy.

There is 1 full-size closet on 787-10 (in front of Row 1A), so close space is limited but potentially available. Don't remember any hanging space behind seats.

Ask as you enter the plane, but one small closet and 44 business class passenger suit jackets / coats are going to be a tight squeeze. Better chances in the summer.

There are also two smaller closets by 2L and 2R doors.
