A recent passenger in-flight survey revealed that 40.4% of passengers selected their flights specifically to fly on the 787
This seems to be a very high number. Has anyone flown on a ANA 787 and seen the survey? I'd be very interested to see how the question/s were worded and the method of answering.

None-the-less some impressive results. An extra 1% in fuel savings over what is expected is an incredible amount! Probably pay for the 11 new 789's in the long run.

Cheers

And this with early build Dreamliners. Imagine what the results will be when the planes are at their promised weights coupled with on going engine improvements

Dreamliner Dream Pass

Quote:
If you liked the experience your Dream Pass first delivered, you'll love what it can do now. This second tour takes you to the heart of the Dreamliner, the flight deck, complete with a virtual takeoff and landing. Many pilots haven't had as close a view as your Dreamliner Dream Pass now provides.

In addition, the 360-degree tour of the Dreamliner's exterior will continue to run alongside the flight deck tour.

Whether you're eager to explore the 787 Dreamliner inside, outside, or both, the Dream Pass will take you there. Be sure to share this exclusive experience with your friends and Boeing.

B787 Dreamliner fuel leaks reveal a production issue and prompt FAA Inspection Order.

Here is a link to a Boeing 787 Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting presentation, which includes some interesting details relating to the Carbon Fibre construction.
