With a maximum range of 8,500 nautical miles, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is equipped to handle some of the world's longest air routes. More than 1,100 of these aircraft have been delivered globally, often operating ultra-long-haul flights exceeding 16 hours.

The Dreamliner is designed for passenger comfort with features such as a wide cabin, high ceilings, and large windows. According to Cirium's data, Air New Zealand, Qantas, and United Airlines operate the longest Dreamliner routes. Most are managed by Qantas, connecting Australia and New Zealand to Europe and North America.

Qantas operates five of the six longest Dreamliner routes this February. These include flights from Perth to London and Paris, Melbourne to Dallas/Fort Worth, Sydney to Dallas/Fort Worth, and Auckland to New York in partnership with Air New Zealand. United Airlines' route between Houston and Sydney also makes the list.

"According to data from OAG," four of these routes rank among the world's top ten longest scheduled nonstop commercial flights. Qantas offers more frequent services on the Auckland-New York route than Air New Zealand since June 2023.

Qantas' fleet consists solely of Boeing 787-9s configured for premium-heavy service with 42 business class seats featuring Thompson Aero Vantage XL seats. The airline plans to offer free WiFi across its international network but has not yet implemented it.

In contrast, Air New Zealand's fleet includes a different configuration focusing on economy capacity with fewer premium seats. The airline will soon introduce "SkyNest" sleeping pods for economy passengers on select flights.

United Airlines employs its long-haul configured 787-9s for Australian routes with Polaris Business class receiving positive reviews since its launch in 2016. The Premium Plus cabin offers enhanced comfort compared to standard economy seating.

Overall, each airline provides distinct experiences aboard their Dreamliners across various cabin classes.
