I haven't but I know someone who has

I think Isafari went on this when she flew over this month. She is on occasionally whilst she is away, so she might be able to give you more information, if not I'm sure she will when she comes home.

and we loved the experience.
You can tell immediately that the plane isn't as wide when you get on and the isles are about 25% narrower too...and of course you have 2 engines not four.

However, the entertainment system is so cool. No more having to watch movies at a particular time as you start/pause and stop them at a time to suit yourself. Games are cool too. You also get 4 versions of the skymap to watch.
Unless you actually want to play the games you don't need to use the handset - just tap the buttons next to the screen.

One big bonus - the restrooms are soooooo much bigger.

Seats were comfy and the blankets we got weren't scratchy

Having sets of two seats all the way up both sides of the plane is a bonus for us being a couple.

only 2 engines?! quite liked having 4!

are the window seats all in sets of 2 now then? makes it a bit hard for a family of 3 to get a window seat if they are - although by the time we go again who knows how many there will be in our party!
