    Was one of the 2, the test bird ZA002? That one; I presume you are aware; is in NH colours
    Saw them on approach to the main building as they were in the distance. However, they were both painted and tails designated.

            Wait, if it's painted in ANA colours why won't it be delivered to them?

              Probably due it being heavily used for test flights.

                ZA002 was originally supposed to be retrofitted and delivered to ANA after flight testing was completed. However, due to the rework on the wing box spars and all of the additional instrumentation that was required to support the new design, Boeing decided to write off ZA001, 002, and 003 as US$2.5 billion development costs, and therefore will not be delivered.

                    NH 787 interiors can now be seen on youtube & Business Traveller

                    I'm happy that Y will be 2-4-2. Hope its not fixed shell though

                    Been reading that all airlines ordering 787 have decided on 3-3-3 in Y

                    J looks to be similar to 77W

                    Bidet in the toilets? Need to carry extra water for that

                      Nice. Slight variation on the business staggered seating though.

                      Where the window seat is up against the window - it's 1-2-1, when the "window" seat is toward the aisle, it's 1-1-1. Not sure i like the claustrophobic seat in the middle though!

                            I prefer the 'regular' livery though....

                              I actually like the darker blue shade.
