Dreamliners and eDream to Florida.
Discussion
Anyone been on one yet?
I am looking at Florida next April and Thomson undercut Virgin and the Dreamliner looks to be a nice plane to spend over 9 hours on.
On the other hand, eDreams are offering a non-stopper for less than £1700 (for 4 vs under £2400 for Thomson). Anyone any experience of them as I don't want Monarch or some crappy airline when I get to the checkout and they cannily provide no details at the sharp end.

And with two young children....Virgin every time for us. 9hrs rammed into a monarch plane with the kids? No ta, no matter how cheap. And flying direct to Orlando is a lot nicer than dropping into Sanford!
Slight problem is the missus got us an upgrade to upper class out and premium Eco back a couple of years back for 500 per adult. Yes it was expensive, but by golly was it nice. - a great way to spend some inheritance that my nan would have approved of

I deliberately go with Virgin as we have been with a few airlines and Virgin Atlantic are the best comfort wise. I'd be interested to see if Thompson can trump them using the 787. Can't see it as they'll be too tempted to cram you in.
Virgin economy probably has the least legroom across the atlantic. They're about the same as monarch. I can't see how they're the best comfort wise. Thomson already has more legroom in the 767 it will have even more on the 787.Virgin every time for us. 9hrs rammed into a monarch plane with the kids? No ta, no matter how cheap.

There's no real difference between aircraft as seat pitch will be virtually the same. The only reason an airline will take on aircraft such as the 787 is to save fuel costs and boost their profits, they won't give passengers more space. They're running a business. I would save the £700 every time for the sake of a few hours in a seat that will be the same on any other aircraft. Flying, taking a train or bus, all the same idea for getting from A to B.
