One very large visitor to WAEA this week in Palm Springs was a model of a Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental. Like the A350 XWB model at Paris, Boeing built a cutaway miniature cabin mock-up of its jumbo jet. The lower deck features a three-class configuration of first class suites, herringbone arranged business class lie-flat seats, and 10-abreast economy class.
The upperdeck features a lounge area with couches and additional business class seating. Now that you've seen the miniature version, take a look at the full size mock-up at Boeing's Customer Experience Center.

Jon,
The link below is my latest post in which I expressed my worry about a possible A350XWB delay.

Do you have anything new about this program? No public status about the program is available. But perhaps you have friends in France who know.

The side walls in this model are different than what's shown on Boeing's walkthrough video (newairplane.com). In the video, the design is much more in keeping with the 787's windows--sculpted and more rounded. Is this the final design?
