I appreciate that central control is desirable for certain circumstances. I'm glad of the tip off as, now, the first time I am likely to travel on a 787, I shall ask this question of the airline before booking. If I found myself unable to look out of the window?I would never fly with that carrier again. The window is the most important aspect of the flight.
Level bust What happened later in the flight? Were you able to clear the setting during the night? Was it only cleared centrally in the morning?
