New Qantas 787 Premium Economy Unveiled

Pitch is supposed to be 38" so it's same as current and SQs. The image render does not do it justice.
Interesting things is they have it in 2-3-2 but I know its because the 787 is more narrow but it makes it more premium than 2-4-2 than other PEY products (let's not compare NZ). But what really interesting is that the middle seats have a 23" width so it makes up for the fact that it wouldn't be less desirable. I think QF may have something good going here. It's not revolutionary as Alan Joyce would put it but I'd reckon this could be a cut above the competition .

I quite like the aesthetics of the overall seat, especially the headrest area, with the angled "wingtips" which look to be quite useful to rest your head on.
Width-wise 2-3-2 for PEY looks quite standard for the 787. Agree the pitch looks a little narrow in the picture but that it could look that way because the seat is quite wide. I guess we will just have to wait until we see the actual product.
Now the big question is whether or not QF will go 9-abreast in Y, or go with something similar to JAL's class leading 2-4-2.

I'm sure it's 3-3-3.

A little sad that even Qantas has gone 3-3-3 in Y on the 789. I am a fan of Qantas, but I just don't like the 787 in 9-abreast and would avoid flying that config if at all possible.

CX/SQ/QR/EK all offer 32" as standard pitch. QF should offer at least 33" if you want to fly this plane from PER to LHR for 17 hours and 30 minutes, otherwise people will still pick CX/SQ/QR/EK over QF.
