Re: Will the LY Dreamliner have a First Class cabin? (a little hint)

he came yesterday with 27?
 flight 28 also delayed to 7:45P
He came with 27. 777. They upgraded him to F so was not that terrible.

What a mismanaged airline. Mind puzzling.

Anyone have an update on El Al's TLV-LHR 787? Last I read the plane was grounded on account of a cracked window in business. Flight tracker lists recent LY 315 flights as 777-200.

Did she really shell out $4452 for a one way ticket? Is she nuts or a liar? There are plenty of cheaper options even when there's no award space

and she flew back with J2 - could have done it on the same ticket, but I guess thats not their way

Btw, one of my clients flew this week in PE. He said that the service/food was similar to that of business class. He also said that PE seemed to have had the most breathing space from all cabins. He said that although the actual seat in business looked spacious, the aisle in business felt very cramped.

Who cares how cramped the aisle is?

It contributes to the overall feel but not to comfort.

Nobody has ever picked a seat or airline due to aisle width.

True. He just mentioned that it had a very tight feeling. He plans on flying business in the future as soon as the excitement winds down a bit and upgrade space opens up

PE 787 day flight or Business 747 night flight.
Which would you choose?
