Hello guys, its been a while since I last posted, but I'm back. Here's a flight review on my recent BKK-MXP flight on Thai's rare fleet of Boeing 787-9s.

The greatest thing about this flight is that it takes place in the dead of night, so you could essentially go to bed after the meal service, and wake up "refreshed" in Milan where it is early in the morning sans jetlag.

There nothing remarkable about this flight, but it was a decent flight that takes you where you need to be. The legroom was okay, the IFE was modern and big, and there wasn't much going on.

Dinner Service - I'm allergic to peanuts so I went with the tagliatelle

For other passengers - the limited jetbridges at Malpensa is a curse, but for AVgeeks like me, it is a blessing.

Conclusion

It was a decent flight. Although there wasn't anything specifically remarkable about it. It gets the job done and is worth the price. I am going to complain that the moving map was unavailable for this flight (this is unacceptable), and that the crews locked the windows, and condemned me to "pitch black". I am quite annoyed about those Dreamliner windows!

But, can someone please answer a question that has been puzzling me for ages? Why do they only have 3 Boeing 787-9s, and why do some of them have GE engines whereas others seem to have Rolls Royce Engines (a different 787-9 on my return flight)? What is going on with their fleet planning?
