It was never supposed to have been like that but it was installed before anyone realised. That from the mouth of someone who was actively involved with the operation.
I believe Boeing 'upgraded' the seats because of all the delivery delays, at least that's what a cabin crew member and a Captain have said.

The original seats in economy and premium are identical to the ones Norwegian use, though Norwegian have 8 inches more seat pitch in premium (46" vs 38") so access to seats is probably not a problem in their case. Have to say aside from being a little narrow the economy seats on Norwegian's 787's were very comfortable.

So the question is, have they now found another way or are the sockets a thing of the past?
From the descriptions it looks like they've swapped out the Timco 3050 seats for the updated Timco 3040 seats;

If thats the case, despite the smaller middle pedestal there are still traditional power sockets.

Thanks

Hi Sride,

1) Scheduled to be a B752
2) Scheduled to be a B788

Of course - they're always subject to change but if you get the 787... enjoy!

Re the discussion on 788 premium seats we flew premium to Mauritius on g-tuid on 18 jan. The change to the centre console with the ice screen moved to the seat back is a definite improvement; the old arrangement is a definite hazard and I'm surprised they passed the safety tests. The seat itself feels just the same as the old one, hard and with inadequate lumbar support. It reclines about 2 inches, I didn't notice it slide forward.
Our return flight will be 2 Feb, this Monday, but sadly I won't be able to take a photo as, if Thomson stick to their normal flight schedule, we'll be on g-tub which is not upgraded. Even worse for us it's currently running 5 hours late so a long wait at MRU followed by my wife being trapped in her seat for 12 hours!
