yes, they do look a little larger in those pictures. Not sure if it's because of the sliders and their housing or if there is really more room. I'm off to AS dealer to find out...stay tuned! (we also have full dishes and mixing bowls in our FC cabinets, plus 2 more cabinets above the dinette area...not offered on the International 28'; did I mention that?) LoL

Yes indeed you did mention that . Here are a couple of pix of the 2019 Flying Cloud and International 28'. The Flying Cloud has overhead dinette cabinets while the International has porthole windows there. Airstream does something similar thing in the 25FB - the streetside bed gets an overhead cabinet on the Flying Cloud and the International gets a bigger window.

Well, I stand corrected...the International cabinets are a about 3 inches wider at the bottom then the FC cabinets. Note the FC has a 4"x1" board against the back against the aluminum which the International does not have.....I measured them both yesterday and took pictures. By the way, did I mention you get 2 more cabinets in the FC model above the dinette that are not offered in the International model, as shown in previous post.

What did get my attention while we were there was the Classic 30' Twin with lighter cabinets...love that couch/recliner set up. Would like to get that in my 28'....or maybe time to consider upgrade to the Classic 30!

Thanks for this. There's nothing like real measurements.

Yes, that couch/recliner looks sweet. There's always the next upgrade

We purchased our Inter, Sig 28RBQ because of the décor. This is nothing against the FC's because lets get to the bones of this TT it's a "Airstream". We all have different appeal to our purchases. Comparing the model's FC's had a different material covering benches/ seating compared the Inter. Sig, man made leather. While at the dealership shopping the wife saw a FC seat had been soiled. Being my wife she attempted to clean the surface. To no avail the soiled surface wouldn't wipe away. After the wife checked the Inter. Sig. with man made leather she was sold. The only other issue the wife had with the FC had been the color of the cabinets and walls. There are other differences like the over head storage at the dinette. Our purchase had a few added features that sweetened the deal: Powered awning, external solar and low powered propane connections. Of course like all us we would all love to have a Classic but double the cost is not in the cards for most of us. Bottom line folks it's a "AIRSTREAM"
