The newly delivered 787 that I’m most excited about this summer belongs to Air Tanzania, as they’ll be adding a single Boeing 787 to their fleet, which they plan to use for flights to Mumbai. You can bet I’ll be on that flight only shortly after it launches.

Yes, it will go to LHR. LHR likely to increase from four to six weekly. Additional two could be with 787-8. LHR flight always full as it is only direct flight between London-Sylhet. Two/three Manchester-Dhaka flight is also under consideration. But at first LHR is the possible route for first 787. First 787-8 will reach in August 2018 second will be in November 2018. Another two 787 will arrive in November 2019. The 777-300ER will not replaced by 787. 787 will be used in additional flights. As 77Ws will be busy between August to September 2018 due to Hajj flight it is likely to replace the 77W with 787 for couple of month.

The window seat is higher because then its easier for the window seat to "hop" over the aisle person. This is the same as in Malaysia Airlines' A330, I think.

This airlines reputation is so bad amongst the Bengali diaspora most other Bengali people I know will never fly them. They aren't even any cheaper anymore than the ME3 by much. The only people who use this are those Bengali's that want a direct flight to Sylhet and older generation who generally don't speak English so well so appreciate having Bengali speaking cabin crew to do deal with but even then both QR and Emirates try to schedule relevant staff on their flights to Dhaka.

@Noah Bowie +1 I thought the whole point of the 787 was to open up long, thin routes where the economics previously didn’t work? Whereas Bangladesh-UK is a thick route, ideally served by 777s. There are historic reasons why there’s a huge amount of traffic between the UK and the Indian sub-continent (much of it VFR and admittedly low yield). Most of those “Indian” restaurants in the UK are owned and staffed by Bangladeshis. I suppose it could be an additional service on the London route. But I’d guess it wouldn’t be the only plane they used.

They won't put the 787 on the London route because that flight is almost always packed. The capacity is definitely needed to London. They might put the 787 on the London route at a different time than their current flights in order to boost capacity.

Speaking of Biman, the last two times I have flown into SGN (25 May and about a month earlier in April) there was a Biman jet here. This last time it was a 777; can't recall for sure if it was the same plane. The first time I figured they were ferrying in officials for some meeting, but now I'm thinking maintenance? Is that plausible?
