Which Business cabin is best?

[surfnwine]

Hi all,

I have a choice of aircraft for an upcoming business class trip. Of course I tried to find a route on an A380 ... but that didn't work out. I can chose between either the A330-200 or Boeing 787-9. Is either superior to the other?

Assuming it's on Qantas metal, they are 99% the same, and our schedule preference / cost should probably trump the aircraft selection. I think the 787-9 has a slightly better divider between the 2 middle seats of the 1-2-1 layout. The A380 definitely has the latest retractable divider.

Boeing 787-9 is a nicer cabin and more modern aircraft (higher humidity, lower noise). The Business Suite is newer as well.

787 - it's an easy choice IMO. Newer seat, better seat fabric, larger o/h bins, larger windows, adjustable central divider, 3x loos

Thanks all. Decision made ... 787 locked in. The timing of flights was similar ... both perfectly acceptable. Just needed something to help me choose.

Really appreciate the comments!
