Looks like Riyadh Air (RX) has revealed their 787 cabins and frankly whilst it seems solid doesn't quite have the wow factor that they've been hyping it up to be.
Business will be Safron Unity (same as JL a350-1000 and QF a350-1000) although the colour pallete is a bit more lux. At the front is 4 Business Extra that is an extra charge mini first cabin.
Premium economy is in a 2-3-2 configuration with 38" pitch and the samr Recaro seat as Emirates new PE seat.
Economy is 3-3-3 with 31" pitch and the same R3 seat that many other airlines will use (QF a350-1000 for example).
Whilst the colours look nice, the specs on these don't necessarily make them a step above other carriers. In fact NH with the same R3 economy seats have 34" of pitch with their refurbish on the 787-9 for example.
I guess we'll see if there is other aspects that make them actually take the best airline tag they're supposedly gunning for.
