I hope they use it for many domestic flights. I prefer a larger wide body plane on flights of 3 hours or more. I especially don’t like the cramped regional jets but they are being used on some long flights now too.

Actually this plane was designed for long direct flights. It has a range of almost 8000 miles and is mainly trying to get around the hub concept of airlines where you use big planes between big hubs and small planes fanning out on either side. The 787 is for Seattle to Paris or LA to Rome nonstop.

There’s something to be said for the 2/1 seating in regional jets. As a frequent solo traveler, it’s nice to sit all by myself in that single seat, plug in some noise canceling earphones and avoid all contact with the other idiots on the plane.
