I was excited to fly the Dreamliner again and get Jonathan's thoughts on the new plane.  We waited around for boarding to begin and it became obvious that we'd be delayed due to a late crew.  We had a 3 hour layover in Seoul so we could spare some time but not a ton.  Luckily, the crew showed up and we boarded 45 minutes late.

We were shown to our seats in the business class cabin where it would just be us and another Indian couple.  One of the pilot later joined us in the cabin to get some rest.  The business class seat is fully flat and all seats face forward in a 2-2-2 configuration.  With 3 rows, there are a total of 18 business class seats.

The cabin was nicely appointed with the carpeting and seat coverings matching Air India's red and orange logo with plenty of gold accents.  We were welcomed (not warmly by any means) onboard and provided the menu for the 3 hour flight to Seoul.
