And an even better experience Ex-LAX.

Private check-in, private guide, cut the queues.

Not sure AA F transcon + TSA Precheck can be beat domestically.

I've gotten the guide ex-JFK as well

Looks like flying business in the near future won't be such a chore

Pretty fantastic looking job, if you ask me.

Its a concept seat, very much like a concept car. Who knows when/if we'll actually see it

I'd bet we see it on QR...

I'd further bet this is what the Prince of QR was talking about when he stated that QR was going to release a Super Business Class seat which would "make F obsolete..."

I really want concept roofing where the stars are visible at night. I wonder if that is something that will ever happen..

OZ has stars on the ceiling when they turn the lights off.

The second pic looks like a bed for very short people. Unless I'm just looking at it from the wrong angle.

You obviously need to sleep folded up.

As do a bunch of others, e.g. EK and EY.

Bad angle.

With the amount of pics you're pulling out of your sleeve, I would think you're on this plane right now taking them. At the same time, it still looks like you need to curl up to fit in there, but hey it's just the concept.

Don't know about stars, but you could see the aurora on this plane...

Still looks too short for me.

Well, if that's the barometer by which we're measuring "adequate size," then, well, we're going to need an Airbus A-480.

How about you list which seats aren't short for you.

With a concept-seat in mind it would only be fitting to launch them in a new concept-plane.

(Googling A480 returns some of the ugliest ideas I have ever seen in the airplane industry)

I'll take one of those

.

But seriously, this looks much closer in size to the B767 than the A330. I was perfectly comfortable on the latter, and squashed in the former. (Both DL)

See above - DLs A330, for example.

NZ to launch flights to IAH in December.

Not to say I don't understand the appeal, but, really, who woulda thunk?

Maybe they'll release some awards?

Nah, who am I kidding.

Dan · « **Reply #1278 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:10:18 PM »

Makes sense, UA announced that as the inaugural 787 route but cancelled it to protest WN international flight from HOU.

Plus there's a huge network to tap into from IAH.

Yeah, it makes sense considering it's basically one-stop service to east coast (perhaps a bit easier than LAX/SFO) and it being an UA hub, but still surprised me.

And... they'll be launching with a 777, not a 787.
