Last week, SkyTeam partner Vietnam Airlines’ brought its first B787 Dreamliner to Reagan National (DCA) for a pre-delivery ceremony.  Vietnam has 19 firm orders for the 787-9, which will feature all new cabins. As per The Design Air:

Onboard the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the carrier has opted for the Zodiac Aerospace Cirrus Seat, offering 28 seats in a 1 x 2 x 1 configuration. These seats convert into fully flat beds and offer WiFi, inset power, USB connectivity and inflight texting. To match the improvement in comfort, there is a larger, high definition 15.4″ screen for each passenger.

To match the current product available on the carrier’s European routes, there will also be a deluxe economy class cabin, featuring 35 seats in a 2 x 3 x 2 seating configuration, offering an industry leading 42″ of pitch and 10.6″ touchscreen TV. Each seat will also offer leg support and a deep recline.

Adam is the proud Founder and CEO of both Point Me to the Plane and point.me. An international consultant turned TV programming strategist, Adam currently works full-time on both websites. His obsession with points and miles dates back to his freshman year at college. After browsing Flyertalk and Mileage Workshop, Adam pulled the trigger and signed up for his first Citibank AAdvantage credit card and MCI phone line (yes, landlines still existed). Back then, both deals were churnable and in no time at all, the college freshman had enough miles to travel to Europe and Asia in First Class for free, multiple times. Needless to say, he was hooked! Fast forward a few years and Adam of course ended up in a career with a heavy travel requirement…which meant extra miles for awards! As his colleagues and friends started to hear about and see pictures from his trips, they wanted in on the secret and Adam began to assist them with their bookings, Juicy Miles was born. At the same time, Adam started an email newsletter to prevent those less obsessed co-workers from squandering their point collection opportunities. The bi-weekly email covered everything from upcoming promotions, guidance on maximizing points, and redemption advice. The distribution quickly expanded outside the office and Point Me to the Plane became a BoardingArea blog.
