The flat screens are better and I think there were power plugs, the first I've seen so far. I'm not the biggest fan of the electronically dimmed windows since you can't make it completely opaque. Other than that no big changes as far as I remember.
- cam_l 12y agoflew on one of these a few times and the flat screens were shit. constant issues with touch sensitivity and responsiveness. on one flight the screen kept having random phantom touch inputs, which was an issue because I was trying to sleep and it kept waking me up. I had to tape the inflight magazine over it.
- SmellyGeekBoy 12y agoNot sure why you're being downvoted, I had exactly the same issue with the screen powering up in the middle of the night due to phantom touch inputs as well.

- ColinCochrane 12y agoI had the same issue with the flat-screens on a 777-300ER. It was especially annoying because my wife and I were flying with our two young children and it kept waking them up.
- chmullig 12y agoThe flat screens are airline dependent. They were fantastic on Norwegian. Overall I'm a fan of the Dreamliner (only 2 flights, a roundtrip on Norwegian). Seats were reasonably comfortable, even for economy on a budget airline. The big windows are nice. It was definitely quieter and (placebo?) the air did feel less gross. Downsides: The arm rest didn't fully rise out of the way, so it's no good for sleeping on your partner's shoulder. The not-fully-dimming windows were a little annoying, but also really neat.
