Any experiences with RJ 787 ?
Phenomenal way to fly TLV-AMM

OS flies both EWR/JFK with 767 & 777 depending on the day

Any difference in J between 767 & 777?

1-2-1 on the 767 vs the 777
It is set up 1-2-1,2-2-2

777 has single seats as well.

Main difference is 777 has a mini cabin of just 2 rows, as opposed to 767 which is one large cabin.

Any pros or cons to either configuration?

777 is a bigger plane, generally more comfortable

1-2-1 will be roomier on the 777, and but the 767 will be roomier then 2-2-2

LY 005 flies the 787-9 with a 1-2-1 configuration. I recall someone saying that the evens are more private than the odds. Did I get that right?

I've never flown it on anything other than TLV-AMM but the seats are comfortable so it should be decent enough.

There are no 2-2-2 on OS J. On the 777, they have both doubles and singles, but not ONLY doubles. You maybe saw the last row of J which is a double and assumed so.
Looks like I stand corrected, I only passed by..
Any pros or cons to either configuration?
In Y the 767 is definitely better

Is that normal?
Lie flat J?
They're constantly switching the plane on that route so it happens every once in a while. Yes, lie flat J.

Interesting. Any seat preference? Middle section is all aisle access , but I  imagine the window seats have more privacy?
Right now I'm  scheduled

Flying by yourself? Take a middle seat, the privacy will be the same and you won't have to climb over your seatmate to get out.
