Boeing 787

I recently flew from London to San Francisco on one of United's newer 787 aircraft with the updated interior and decided to try the Polaris Studio upgrade. While the experience was certainly premium, I came away feeling that it was not worth the extra cost. One of the biggest...

This is a repost because my original submission was removed due to incorrect flair. I was not present at the gate when the incident occurred, but according to people who were there, the event happened suddenly. It appears that the aircraft’s front landing gear collapsed while on...

Hi all, I’m a solo traveller flying long-haul (14+ hours) on a Qantas Boeing 787-9 in business class soon. I’m trying to decide between a couple of seat options and would really appreciate advice. Right now I have 10K, which is a true window seat (not directly on the aisle), but...

Air India has completed the first refurbished cabin as part of its ongoing program to upgrade 26 Boeing 787 aircraft across its fleet. The first aircraft, a Boeing 787-8 registered VT-ANT, has been fully converted from a two-class layout to a three-class configuration aligned...

Hi all, Our aircraft was changed and we were reassigned to seats 27H and 27J on the new Boeing 787-9 with the Allegris cabin. From what I can tell, these are now exit row seats. I am not sure whether these seats still have recline functionality or if they are fixed upright due...

On their website I noticed the same route sometimes shows as “787 all series passenger” and other times specifically as a “787-8.” I am trying to understand what this actually means in practice. Is this just a generic aircraft listing that covers multiple 787 variants, or does...

I put together a diecast representation of the flights my wife and I took during our trip to Australia last December. All of the aircraft models are in 1:200 scale, and it was interesting seeing the size differences between them. Our journey included: American Airlines Embraer...

I have a few upcoming flights with Air France and KLM in Premium cabins and wanted some seat advice. The flights are on the following aircraft: 777-300 777-300 777-200 787-10 I usually prefer aisle seats, but I’m unsure whether I should choose bulkhead seats or standard...

I am looking at selecting the “neighbour-free” seats on an Etihad Boeing 787-10 economy flight from Bangkok to Abu Dhabi. These seats are located in front of and to the side of the toilets, but not directly adjacent to them. The main benefit is having an empty adjacent seat and...

Reported all over the web.. captain smelled electrical burning smell.

My partner and I are choosing seats for a transatlantic flight on a Lufthansa 787-9. From the seat map, it looks like the last row has only two seats instead of three, which seems ideal for more privacy. However, it also appears those seats might not have a window. I’d like to...

Came across an old 2015 concept image from Qantas showing potential long-haul routes for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, including places like Mexico, Seattle, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Dubai, Cape Town, and even Addis Ababa. Looking back, a large number of those “direct range”...

Looking at a seat on a Korean Air 787-9 and noticed one where I’d have no one directly next to me, which sounds great for a solo trip. Only thing is it looks pretty close to the bathrooms. Not sure if that’s a good tradeoff or if it’ll just be annoying with people lining up....

Wondering if Air India has upgraded the Delhi to Frankfurt route with the newer Boeing 787-9, specifically aircraft VT-AWA. Trying to confirm if this aircraft is now operating on that route.

This is starting to feel uncomfortable. Another report about fuel switch cutoff issues, this time involving an Air India Dreamliner, and it’s right on the heels of AI171. Even if this ends up being procedural or isolated, the timing is awful. When the same system keeps showing...

Lufthansa has officially launched its Allegris premium cabin on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, marking the product’s North American debut on the Frankfurt–Toronto route. This milestone expands the Allegris rollout beyond Munich and introduces a new standard of comfort,...
