Much nicer than the short stay in the little pods... Much easier too!
No having to take the half hour bus ride from Terminal 5 to the Yotel. Or go through Immigration, or try to make my way BACK to Terminal 5.
All is well so far.
I have mixed feelings about the 787... It's a nice new airplane, much faster, around Mach 0.88 and HOLY QUIET!!!! Even on takeoff, you can have a conversation with the person next to you without raising your voice. Nothing rattling or shaking in the back. No roar from the engines...
But, it's rather cramped for the people in Economy. There's 2 extra seats across in the back... The old 767's were 2-3-2. The 787 is 3-3-3, so there's not a whole lot of wiggle room. Turn the wrong way when you're sleeping and you could be cheek to jowl with a perfect stranger!
Here's a couple of shots of the Boeing 787-8...
