Here’s How Much The Boeing 777X’s New Cabin Design Will Change The Long-Haul Experience

Across the board, long-haul travel is getting a quiet redesign. Instead of chasing fancy gadgets, the Boeing 777X’s cabin focuses on the fundamentals. The manufacturer is looking to target specific improvements that passengers will feel, with space, light, air, and small friction points across the board all being places where the airline is looking to smooth out the passenger experience. Boeing and design partner Teague have worked to restructure the cabin, ranging from side walls to the ceiling, lighting, and windows, all in order to make sure that the aircraft feels more open and comfortable for passengers. The airline has also had to manage the challenging task of doing this without sacrificing the airline’s operating economics in any way. Mockups seen by the media have emphasized arched and lofted ceilings with immersive LED lighting, alongside larger windows and overhead bins to reduce friction at boarding.
