FAs sprang into action shortly after takeoff to offer warm towels and place tablecloths down. With a midnight departure, I figured dining would go quickly and indeed it did. More would have been nice, but I appreciated what I got. While the blanket was heavy, it was soft and each seat had individual air nozzles. On the seat was a comfort package featuring a blanket, pillow, and noise-canceling headphones. Perhaps it was just an off-night, but the flight was less than half full in business class but appeared nicely filled in economy class. Behind that is three rows of premium economy (AM Plus), making me wonder if those last six flights in business class will stick around on a long-term basis. The Aeromexico business class cabin on the 787-9 features 36 seats in business class with 30 in the forward cabin and six in a mini-cabin behind the galley. If you prefer, here’s what the seat looks like in daylight hours: Seat adjustments were made via a touch-panel in the armrest: The large compartment next to my armrest including the IFE controller, USB port, headphone jack, and power port. I appreciated the many compartments, which made personal storage quite easy. I actually wouldn’t call this seat any more comfortable than other seats, but I love the privacy and personal storage. The 787-8 has B/E Aerospace Diamond seats in a 2-2-2 configuration while the 787-9 has B/E Aerospace Super Diamond seatings which are in a reverse herringbone arrangement. Keep in mind there is a big difference in seating between the Aeromexico 787-8 and 787-9. Stepping onboard, the purser inspected my boarding pass and directed me to my seat in the forward business class cabin. Seat: 4A (Business Class / Clase Premier) By the time it opened, there were 100 passengers standing behind me. It remained closed for the next 20 minutes. There, however, a giant glass door was closed. My ticket was scanned and passport checked and I was led down the ramp the jet-bridge door. Boarding began about 50 minutes prior to departure…sort of. I lined up at the gate one hour prior to departure, hoping to be first onboard. My late-night flight from Mexico City to Paris represented the perfect flight-time for sleeping…but would service suffer as a result?
