With the 787-10 serving mainly the regional sector, how does it fare compared to the Business Class cabins of the A380 and 77W? I shall let the pictures do the talking (courtesy of my business partner, AF).

I just came back from a conference in Bangkok and I managed to position myself to try out the new 787-10 in which Singapore Airlines was the launch customer. The 787-10 is meant to handle the regional flights currently being managed by the A330-300s and 777-200s which is way due for replacement. While the SQ974 is still being flown on an A333, SQ973 is being used as one of the short haul route for crew familiarisation before being used for its intended purpose – regional flights (KIX and PER being the first 2 destinations). So how was the flight?

Now for the last leg of flight from Doha to Kuala Lumpur. The flight is operated on a Dreamliner (Boeing 787-8). 787-8 only comes in 2 cabin, Business and Economy. Business class in 787-8 is arranged in the 1-2-1 configuration (in reverse herringbone formation). This means the passengers will be facing away from the aisle. For this flight, I was seated in seat 2E.
That Time Of The Year!
