I was requested by KevinDC to separate this part of my previous report in order to make it easier for people to search for and locate an economy class review on Jetstar's new 787, so it's just a copy and paste of the second part from my earlier report in Business Class.
Here are some additional photos from my return leg OOL-MEL which I flew in Economy. The seats were comfortable for the short flight, and would probably be just nice for flights to Singapore and Bali, though Honolulu and Osaka would probably be pushing it in terms of passenger comfort. Legroom was sufficient, and recline was adequate. Seat width was not an issue either.
Legroom was sufficient for the flight - I'm 1.76m (5 ft 10 inches)

Panasonic eX2 Eco 9i Integrated Smart Monitor - very responsive to the touch, quite like an iPad in terms of responsiveness

Orange mood lighting during boarding

Would have preferred a folding tray table, but it would probably fit a 14 inch laptop

Airshow channel was available, other IFE options were chargeable








Attendant Call and Reading Light controls embedded within the IFE - would hate to see what would happen if the IFE system fails





The aircraft, Jetstar’s sole example to date, was already displaying signs of use, with the No Smoking sticker in front of my seat ripped off, as well as missing seat number placards on the overhead bins over Row 29.

Wow that was fast! Thanks!! :-)
It's 1am in the morning here in Melbourne and I'm still awake, so why not just make some edits?
Yep! That's why I haven't been on FR much the past few weeks...spotty/slow WiFi
Haha, there you go. I do some of my best work early AM. I just got back to the US from Asia so half the time I don't know what time it is, LOL.
@Kevin I sense some FRs coming our way ;)
