Do you do that route often?

I'm currently debating between VS45 (LHR-JFK) in the old A340 and VS1 (LHR-EWR) in the brand new B787-900.
They would both be in Y but the latest would mean paying an extra $40 for a taxi.
It would be my first time on the B78-9.

Is it worth it?
Just flew VS 3 &4 in Y on the A340, it's old and cramped but we had ghetto uprgades and didn;t notice too much
we also flew the b787 LON- JNB, which had more room in Y, less bathrooms and only slightly better entertainment system
for a y trip the motto is Veni Vidi Vivo (i came, i saw, i lived)
 in answer to your question, if the flight is packed (it usually isn;t) it may be worth the $40, if not dont bother

What are ghetto upgrades?

To quote the travel agent: The 787 has huge windows, even in economy you feel like you're in a living room.

Yup the huge Windows, that don't fully block out light.

I flew on AC 787 to TLV and it was by far my worse experience. It never gets dark outside this time of year and you have those windows that don't shut >:(

AKA poor mans F (lie flat)
extra seats
the 340 is a 2-4-2 and on an emptyish flight you can get a full 4 for yourself in the back

Do they not have shades? Or buttons that darken it electronically? How do they keep the cabin dark when they want to?

No shades, it has a few levels of brightness, though never goes completely dark.

Frankly, if CX weren't nonstop, I'd choose AC any day.

And, I paid $12 for AJK Jr, as opposed to 10% on CX. No brainer.

How kids change our travel plans... (though as you said AC 773 is quite nice, even in Y).
