#Gamechanger
Game changer? For first class perhaps. If you can afford it.
But the business class has still a middle seat (2-3-2) and the economy class has still the very narrow 17in. 3-4-3 configuration.
Poor passengers...
For First class definitely 'a' game changer yes. For Business class I'm very surprised as well that they still kept the 2-3-2 lay-out even though it is quite spacious, it siginificantly limits free movement for enclosed pax (and there are many of those in this lay-out)...
For economy class...well I think everyone is going there. Qatar Airways and Emirates are regarded as 2 of the best airlines in the world but except for their catering and IFE, Economy class is as sh*tty as with other airlines.
However it depends on the flight length (which is very limited on the Europe-DXB/DOH sectors on which I have experienced these configurations), what I found to be MUCH more annoying on the QR 787 were the IFE boxes under the seats. Even though they are already much smaller than e.g. on the A330/340 fleet, it's still absolutely irritating.
