Here ’s the best - typeface scenario as laid out in a big visibility of the plane inUSA Today : the Dreamliner is not only luxuriant and comfy , it ’s 30 % cheaper to manoeuver , which will help improve some of the inconvenience of flying . escape might be cheaper . That ’s a strong might , though ; passing rescue on to customers has n’t exactly been an airway strong causa .

The airlines could , though , use the saving to launch the 787 on long , down - requirement routes — the new United Continental behemoth already plans to vanish the sheet from Houston to Auckland . Get enough non - stops going , and the benefits accomplish far beyond the Dreamliner passengers . Fewer connecting flights through congested regional hub means fewer cascade postponement and more blank space on the rail . That ’s less metre have in the airdrome , and more metre doing whatever the hell else you want . Sounds neat ! But then you remember that these are the same people who slap you with a base fee , took by your pillow and your repast , and you get a picayune more pessimistic .

So can the Dreamliner really improve the experience of flying ? It ’d be difficult not to , at least a little bit ; for something that ’s so per se coolheaded , the actual experience of zipping through the aviation at 30,000 invertebrate foot remains awfully shitty . And rather than rely on a fantasy of betterment by technology , I ’d settle for the miracle of better service . But in the meanwhile — a guy can dream , ca n’t he ? [ USA Today ]
