The new Dreamliner 787 is:
• Lighter on the environment – a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions on a typical Dreamliner flight.
• Comfort – customers travelling on the Dreamliner benefit from the on-board features, which reduce the effects of jetlag, make for a quieter and smoother flight, and give customers fantastic views ensuring that their holiday begins the moment they step on board.
• Large windows and controllable light – the windows on the Dreamliner are 30% bigger than the average aircraft windows (27x47cm), allowing every customer a view of the horizon. Electric dimmers on all windows mean customers can determine the degree of light they let in.
• Bigger seats – travel in Economy Club and there’s a 32” seat pitch. Upgrade to Premium Club and you get 38”, meaning plenty of room to stretch out.
• Technology – state-of-the-art 9” TVs.
• Extended flying range – aircraft is designed to lower costs on long-distance routes that don’t require the capacity of the larger sized aeroplane (such as a Boeing 777). The extended flying range of this mid-sized aircraft therefore offers the prospect of many more long-haul flight options.
