Preferred Economy Configurations
- 2-4-2 layout offers wider seats (18 inches) and fewer middle seats, enhancing comfort on long-haul flights.

Airline-Specific Configurations
- Japan Airlines: Uses 2-4-2 in economy on its 787-10s, prioritizing seat width and comfort.
- United Airlines: Uses a 2-4-2 layout in premium economy, but economy is 3-3-3, which may reduce perceived comfort.
- Delta Air Lines: Plans to use 3-3-3 in economy, though it may offer more premium seating options to offset economy trade-offs.🔗
Passenger Preferences
- Passengers often prefer window or aisle seats in 2-4-2 layouts due to better legroom and fewer disruptions from middle seat occupants.
- The 2-4-2 layout is generally seen as more comfortable due to wider seats and reduced seat congestion.

NEW ROUTES 2026 #3: Korean Air’s new Prestige Suites for Sydney
Korean Air has introduced the Prestige Suites 2.0 in Business Class for flights out of Sydney on its 787-10 Dreamliners from November 2025. I’m doing a series of posts on new routes in and out of Australia. Some are actually new routes, and some are new in the sense of having new aircraft, updated interiors, or other innovations. Looks like there will be nine posts in the series. I’ve already covered, and you can read about Turkish Airlines’ soon-to-be nonstop flights between Australia and Europe and Cathay Pacific’s revived route between Adelaide and Hong Kong. Korean Air, a

Review: ANA 787 Economy Class (GMP-HND)
Review Overview| THE ALVIATOR'S VERDICT Probably not the most over-the-top economy class experience out there, though you'll get a hot meal with a wide range of drinks available, a decent seat with good storage and footrest, and (uncompetitively priced, though functional) WiFi on regional ANA flights | 4.5 || In March 2026, I flew ANA’s 787 economy class from Seoul Gimpo to Haneda Airport. This was the first segment of a two-leg journey from Seoul Gimpo to London Heathrow Airport – I booked this itinerary specifically because there was a cheaper fare for ANA premium economy if flying out

My Favourite Aircraft To Fly: Here Are The Airplanes I Get Excited About
I love flying, and one of my hobbies outside of my freelance work is to find new airplanes and new cabin products that I can try out. Over the years, I’ve developed a love for some specific aircraft more than others. I’ve got preferences in terms of the experience (particularly when I’m flying in premium economy, the cabin that I cover the most), and here are the planes that best cater to those preferences. I’d also love to hear what yours are. I haven’t flown every major commercial aircraft out there – notable exclusions are the 757 and 767.

United Airlines Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner Premium Economy Class Review OGG-ORD
I recently flew in United Premium Plus (premium economy) on the United Airlines Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner OGG-ORD flight from Maui to Chicago. This United Airlines premium economy review will talk about seats, food, amenities and so on. I had booked this flight (along with connecting flights from Honolulu to Maui and from Chicago on to Cincinnati) for only 25,000 United Airlines miles, which I thought was a screaming deal. Our short flight from Honolulu to Maui was a bit delayed, so by the time we made our way to the Gate (Gate 1, the furthest one, of course), we

Delta’s New Boeing 787-10 Will Feature More Than 50% Premium Seating
Delta Air Lines has offered its clearest indication yet of how it intends to configure its future Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners, revealing that more than half of the aircraft’s seating will fall into premium cabins. Delta Reveals How Premium Its Boeing 787-10 Will Be When Delta ordered 30 Boeing 787-10 aircraft earlier this year, with options for 30 more, it promised larger premium cabins but stopped short of revealing how premium-heavy the aircraft would be. Now we have a much better idea. During Delta’s second-quarter earnings call, Chief Commercial Officer Joe Esposito compared the
