15 hours on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, in coach
Want to sit for 15 hours? Boeing's new 787-9 claims better passenger comfort over extremely long-haul routes. Here's what it's like on one of the longest you can take. (www.cnet.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Incredibly annoying that the flight attendants control the window "shades" now.
I haven't flown in a 787 but I have flown in a 380 in both economy and business class. On 14 hour flights in business class I get 6 or 7 hours sleep and arrive refreshed. In economy I arrive wrecked. Hang the expense, business is the only way to fly long haul.
I am 6'4” tall but not a freak. I need to remove the flight mags from the seat pocket to be able to sit and then ask the person in front not to recline. Pure torture on my flights to Australia. The premium for an upgrade is beyond my budget. Why do they give exit rows to midgets?
Somewhat similar, with a VERY SIMILAR PHOTO, to this article...

I just flew 7200 miles on the 788 from Addis Ababa to Washington DC earlier this week. My 4th ride on the Dreamliner and by far my longest. I haven't noticed the cabin pressure or any of the features Boeing advertises while on board, but after getting off the 16 hour flight I felt great, so it must work.
Seventeen inch wide seats. A new low...
