Grey Area — interestingly enough, Boeing uses the same name (Unk-unks) for the same situation Rumsfeld described, though surely years earlier.

Word is that it’ll be in the “Dreamliner” scheme with PIA titles.
It’s the B777-200LR demonstrator, apparently.
Wow, that is interesting…
The demonstrator:

note that there are a total of 3 rows of 7 abreast – 21J.
Economy class:

4 rows of 9 abreast, plus 2 rows of 8 abreast in A300 mockup, presumably nonfunctional windows – total of 52Y.
The ballroom

Not sure how comfortable it is to dance in flight…
and that is the test equipment

With a total of 73 seats, I think Boeing had less than 50 % load factor on their HKG-LHR flight wit 35 passengers.
For comparison, the old PIA 777-200ER BusinessPlus seats:

And that is how they describe it:

One wonders – if the departure on 26th instant does not yet have the final livery, what would the interior be like?

What do you reckon to the chances of bright sunshine and a 24R approach? 😉

It has Raked wing tips like the -300. There are other differences but they are “Visualy” minor.

How can you tell the difference between a 200 and a 200LR, don’t they look exactly the same????
