787


First impression: the spaciousness of this plane have been highly exaggerated. People make it sound as if you could let a ship pass through but no. There's sufficient space for you to stretch your legs and avoid feet cramps or disruption of blood flow.

Entertainment: In front of you there is a touch screen allowing you to choose from a wide range of TV (the upside) Shows, Movies, Music, Games and even a channel dedicated for kids, so no worries about bringing a young child onboard (there are 2 boys about 4-5 years old infront of me and the touch screen has been keeping them occupied and me happy)
Each entertainment category has its own breakdown of more subcategories of different genres of movies/songs/shows. There's a lot so I would recommend taking this plane for long distances (like 8 hours min).
There's movies from Ella Enchanted to Rocky Balboa, shows from Friends to Doogie Howser M.D. and let's not start with the music shall we?
But here's the DOWNSIDE, if you're lucky, it works. The evolution of technology isn't working so well especially among the cabin crew because they too, do not how to help you because 'it's still new'.

Music: it allows you to choose songs from different albums and compile them all in a 'jukebox' (iTunes calls it playlist) so you can listen to your own selections.

General: Personally, I would prefer controlling my entertainment using the handheld controller instead of the touch screen because it gets tiring.
-A man sitting a seat away from me had to tagur the air attendant because his collars weren't properly folded. His suit collar. How do you not fold your suit collar?
-I'm sure there's a reason why they also have a special channel to track the pysics+geography of the plane.

Verdict: If this was a movie, 7/10. Entertainment is on and off, the food is typical RBC, cabin crew is friendly and helpful but when you fly alone with a stranger next to you, you'd rely on the screen to make your flight fairly decent. (It only came on 10 minutes before we landed)
