Uh, did you see the picture?
At first I was trying to figure out how I know it's a new picture and not from the old one, until I noticed the ripple on the back of the engine.
But what's the point in this? It's so ugly IMHO.

Got this email from Elal:  "EL AL Canada is proud to present the 787 Dreamliner from Toronto." but link only takes you to a tour of the plane. Anyone hear of an official roll out date for LY YYZ dreamliner service?

Under what scenario can seats be upgraded with the seats mentioned to be available on experflyer under "Business - Points Upgrades"?

Does it need to be a cash booking?

Not unlikely that award will open. Upgrades and award space are pretty similar on LY

It's still possible that award will open, but they aren't similar at all

Correct. There's definitely more R than X, but generally on flights that are relatively empty, they will both be available

I just had a relative who flies LY J a lot and just took the dreamliner in J for the first time, say that he prefers the old cabin as the footwells are very narrow and make you feel claustrophobic on the new plane
