Also, leaving the partitions out of the rear sleeping area and going with a pull aside curtain and lower back seats makes it much roomier..

But no, its not a GLEX cabin. It also weights 30K pounds less, yet has the same range.

The 7X is not the choice for pax who routinely circle the globe and need 3 pilots onboard (no rest area with a real galley) For the pax who does not care about fuel flows and budgets - a GLEX/G550 is the way to go. Dassualt simply did not understand what pax service was when designing a 13hr airplane. They didn't include a chiller (is that safe?) and the had a galley that was designed for a crappy Rudys sandwich platter. They didn't realize these planes do 2-3 full meals.

The 7X is a great airplane for 7-9 hr legs without thinking about it, in a cabin that is very comfy for 4 pax and is dead quiet. It's DOC's are unbeatable for what it does.

Also, it's a real blast to fly! - way more fun that a Glex.
I think you're right, if you're taking 6 pax from San Francisco to Tokyo, it'd probably get a bit cramped in there. That bird is good for U.S to Europe or South America trips, not much room to do Asia constantly...

still, beautifull machine
