B787 is definitely a nice plan to ride.
The cabin's humidity, simulated altitude, and oxygen density is much higher on the 787 and A350 because these planes are carbon fiber skinned. The stronger skin allows the cabin to be pressurized at a lower altitude equivalent. Overall, the 787 and A350 have a cabin altitude simulating 6000 feet or less (max 6000 feet, usually much less on average). On other metal bodied airliner planes, the cabin altitude is simulated at 8000 feet or less. While that isn't a significant difference, remember, Denver is where the athletes go to train. Denver is about 5000 feet elevation. Santa Fe, New Mexico is about 7000 feet! But I don't see as many athletes going to Santa Fe!
The behemoths of the skies still exist… ✈️
Been a while, since I flew in one of these 😊🤷🏻♂️ But it’s still a pleasure, as they tend to be amongst the smoothest and quietest aircraft I have experienced. Who knows how long we will continue seeing the A380s in the skies 🧐 LH could slowly think of re...
That would keep them interesting for longer…
I especially enjoy the quietness (which at least to my ears is still quieter than most twins) and if the rest of the cabin catches up… 🤞🏻👍🏻
LH is refurbishing their cabins very slowly...
They're still catching up from the delays on cabin parts from the pandemic. Lufthansa Technik has promised to retrofit the cabins of their older airplanes with the new "Allegris" interior. Which supposedly is going to be very good. Lufthansa is still not ...
Fortunately my flights on the 380…
Were upstairs. Somehow I never had a flight in the 787 🤷🏻♂️ The 747-8 was also nice IMHO 👍🏻
787 is a great airplane for passenger comfort!
I would say the 787 is the finest plane when it comes to comfort for biologicals. I say biologicals because even dogs, cats, and horses seem to prefer the 787. I personally feel a slight difference between the 787 and the A350 - I think I feel better in a...
I was humbled...
I thought I knew a lot. I read the financial reports of all the major airlines. I recalled the financial details faster than Wall Street airline analysts. But I never knew the part about cargo and the 777's ability to carry a lot of cargo and the 787's in...
Excellent details!
I've only ever flown twice on a 787, a roundtrip between LA and Europe using Norwegian Airlines, and it was a genuinely good experience. I look forward to being a passenger on that plane again, as well as others........
