Good news but are they using B787 in July only?
The orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun averages about 30 km/s or 18 mps (108,000 km/h or 67000 mph).
Which means we're travelling 97 times the speed of sound. And yet we can't feel the motion,
SubhanAllah

may be a new Dreamliner in QR fleet, being deployed for DOH-LHE short-medium haul route before putting into medium-long haul routes so that it can be in region if any teething problem occurs :-k

btw, i will be in Lahore too by last week of July insha'Allah, but unfortunately the flight times are midnight so it will be really hard to have glimpse of Dreamliner flying out of LHE at that time :roll:

The QR dreamliner Business Class product is amazing!

However, their economy product is offer. Instead of 8 across, they have squeezed 9 across in economy. The IFE box beneath your feet takes alot of space as well. Not comfortable at all.

On the plus side, the humidity level is better so no dryness, and the cabin is pressurised at a lower altitude so you dont feel as tired as you would.

I think most Airlines have 9 seats across in Economy Class (except the Japanese Airlines JAL and ANA).
Qatar Airways is still offering that 9 seat across in their 777 Aircraft where Etihad and Emirates already squeezed 10 seats :D

I hope we can capture some photos of the 787s. Pakistan civil aviation industry is so behind, 7 years since A380's entry into commercial service and not ONCE has it landed there.

@hammad: Yes, but the Dreamliner is not as wide as a 777. You can really tell the difference as compared to the 777's, as the 787 seats are narrower and closer together.

Pakistan CAA should give water cannon salute to first Boeing 787 flight of Qatar Airways at Lahore Airport and news media should also be invited for coverage.

Hope Qatar Airways also announce the date of B787 first flight through newspaper ad to enable spotters to see the aircraft.
