  • At IAH? Check out the 787 Mock-up!

    A full-scale interior replica of Continental Airlines’ 787 Dreamliner has landed at Houston Bush Intercontinental, giving travelers an opportunity for an up-close look at aviation’s greatest and, literally, latest long-haul airplane.

    The mock-up, at IAH’s gate E4, clearly shows that the revolutionary aircraft (this bird’s made largely of composite material) will offer more overhead storage and huge windows and it should feel less cramped. What the cutaway doesn’t show is that Continental’s configuration calls for 228 passengers, including 36 flat-bed seats in business/first.

    I wish that they would do this at more airports (if they have the space). It's a great idea. Cute, though, that they call it the "Continental 787 Mock-up", as, well, by that time it will be with UA. Has UA made comments about CO's committment to the 787 program? Is there a potential cancellation looming?
    Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.
