The windows on the 787 are very BIG, so that could give the illusion that the titles are smaller than on other airplanes.

El Al has two versions of the 787, the 787-9 and the 787-8.

The 787-9 is 20' or 6.1 meters longer than the 787-8, it holds more passengers and has a slightly longer range.

The El Al configuration of the 789 has 32 business seats, 28 premium economy, and 222 economy for a total of 282 seats.

El Al's 788, on the other hand, has 20 business seats, 35 premium economy and 183 economy for a total of 238 seats

Is there going to be any hard decision on which routes get the 789 vs the 788?

Having 2 variants give El Al flexibility. Any flight scheduled with a 788 could be upgauged to a 789 and vice versa according to demand.

If El Al could afford it, they would have withdrawn the 777s and replaced them with 787-10. This may be what will happen in a few years as some of their 777s will turn 19 next year.
