Do you also own a blog? Did you have Adi as your flight attendant?
Okay for starters NO I don’t own a blog and I am not getting comped for this TR. I am an average working guy who travels a lot. And this will be my first TR.
Now for the TR : I am going to compare the LY Dreamliner to other aircrafts that fly this route. I was seated in 14A which has more privacy due to the table being in between you and the aisle. I loved the personal closet they give you. It was very roomy and due to lack of WiFi i stored my cell phone in there and other personal items. Another plus was when lying down there is a area for your glasses which I though was a cool amenity.
The seat itself was very comfortable and you can pickup the leather headrest to make room for your pillow. There was plenty of legroom for myself. (Disclaimer I’m 5’8). The seat can be maneuverd to a relaxing position and lie flat position and I found both to be very comfortable.
They finally figured out a way to make the eating tray manuervable where although the food is on the tray you can get out to wash your hands.
Another perk was the tint on the windows which some may not like. As it was an evening flight there are no shades on the windows but they have a tint that they activate that turns the outdoors completely dark and there is no way at night to see if there is sunlight outside. Morning time they took of the restriction and your were free to either activate the tint or remove it.
In regards to staff and food. I always find that while LY staff in eco is horrible. When it comes to J it’s a great experience. I eat the standard kosher meal and had a great piece of salmon for dinner and a omelette for breakfast.
Bathrooms are still very small and the aisles I’m guessing to add room for seats are very thin making it tough for two people to pass at the same time.
Entertainment was excellent with a choice of 142 movies with very comfortable headphones and if you were in the mood a channel playing the daf yomi shiur.
So yes I was very happy and it’s tremendous improvement for their old J class
