The New Boeing Dreamliner

Just recently, according to MSN, the much-anticipated Boeing 787 Dreamliner took its first flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong. The commercial flight was mostly made up of aviation reporters and enthusiasts that paid thousands of dollars to board that first flight. The newest Boeing is 20% more fuel efficient than other commercial planes, has 30% larger windows (that come with glare-reducing systems), better lighting and more overhead space (every passenger can have one carry-on). Its air pressure and humidity levels are closer to what’s found on the ground, allegedly easing up jet lag. The humidity is said to be at 16% with a cabin pressurized at a lower level, supposedly leaving travelers with less headaches and more energy.

According to MSN, this new Boeing 787 is supposed to provide nonstop routes for cities that typically don’t have them, because it can hold a smaller number of travelers (200 or so) compared to other Boeings that have the capacity to fly 800 people. Larger planes aren’t always profitable, but the Dreamliner will make it possible with routes like San Francisco to Manchester or England to Boston.

The Boeing 787 might be fuel efficient and provide extra perks, but there’s still nothing like flying on a private jet with a private aviation company. It’s comfort at its best, with tons of flexibility, luxury and concierge services to help you with your trip.
