I am originally from Boston but have lived and worked in London for quite a while. Therefore, I've flown Norwegian's LGW-BOS route many, many times.
Before the pet peeve I must say that I've always enjoyed the flight & service and found the prices to be amazing (typically sub $400 when BA and Legacy's charge over $1K)
However, when boarding the 787 (or right after takeoff) there is a quick welcome video played on all the PTV's. The video shows air to air shots of the 787 while saying the cabin has better pressurization and Norwegian's mix of new 737's, 737-Max's, and 787's make them one of the most efficient airliners around.
The part that always stuck out to me is when they're talking about the 787's windows. The narrator says "We've made them X amount bigger than...". Now I understand this is an extremely small point to write a post about but I was wondering if any of you have realized this as well?
To the average flier who's actually paying attention to the video, it may sound like Norwegian has made their own 787's window bigger, and that their 787 has bigger windows than other airlines.
Wondering your thoughts!

I would have thought it was not Norwegian themselves that made these type of videos, but that it is a made to order video by Boeing media.
