@@dmrr7739 On the flip side when holidaying with my parents, my mother insisted that all 3 of us sit together, hence when we flew on a plane with a 2-4-2 layout, none of us could have a window seat (unlike with a 3-3-3 or 3-4-3 layout)
Someone who travelled with one also complained about that. The mechanical blinds on other planes are more convenient but it might be a problem with the big windows. You open one to watch or take photos and the whole plane is lit like you switched on a searchlight.
Yep, this was my only complaint when I had to travel with this plane, 13h from Warsaw to Tokyo. I wanted to take some pictures of the beautiful landscape of Mongolia, but there was no way of controlling the dimming
It's a dream more on Japan Airlines than other airlines operating the 787....because JAL is literally the only one operating 8-across in economy, the others squeeze in one more seat, making the configuration tight and uncomfortable for most people. And it looks like Airbus is making it possible to do 10-across in the A350, also making a comfortable plane into a sardine can. *sigh.....
@@tristanhnl Please cite the data supporting your claim of most people finding the 787 uncomfortable. Anecdotes are not a source. In my anecdotal experience the overwhelming majority of people I know who have flown the 787 love it.
I flew the JAL 787 couple of times and holyshit….i am blown away every single time at how spacious the economy class seats are. I’m 5’10 and still had so much extra legroom to really relax. Seriously amazing
@@thanuk5778 , yes!!!!! That's how Boeing intended the 787 to be....very spacious and comfortable. But of course the airlines only see dollar signs, so they turn the 787 into a sardine can *sigh ....
Boeing probably wanted the "Global Cruiser" name because they were developing the Sonic Cruiser simultaneously. Two "Cruisers" that were supposed to carry the future of the company with both speed and efficiency. However rising oil prices and the Dreamliner's own ballooning budget made Boeing shelved the Sonic Cruiser project early on.
Dreamliner is much the superior name to Global Cruiser. Others have said that it sounds like a freight company, to me that's being generous; I think it sounds like a friggin minivan.
I am glad Dreamliner won. Such a wonderful name and it would also give the variant of the Queen a fitting name as well, Dreamlifter. Imagine it being called Global Lifter.
Dreamliner has an emotional and aspirational charm to it. People will be materialising dreams on them, flying to their dream destinations for either holidays, exciting job opportunities or long anticipated reencounters. Like honestly all planes, the 787 is a machine of dreams ✨
Dream Liner kind of harks back to when flying was a grand full-service experience. Stewardesses, nice meals, pillows, blankets, hot washcloths, smoking and free drinks.
I’ve flown on many Dreamliners from Manchester to Jeddah by saudi airlines. I really liked their dimmed windows (you can adjust their brightness with a button underneath the window).
"Dreamliner" is one hell of a name for marketing your jet. When I was little and knew nothing about airplanes, I assumed it'd be some A380 sized luxury jet.
We mechanics have a different nickname for the B787. We call it "Plastic Princess", because it likes the princess treatment and is a chore to work maintenance on in comparison to past Boeing fleets.
I flew at 787-10 Dreamliner from LA to New York. It was the smoothest nicest ride I've ever had on a plane. And I've flown on a lot of different planes commercially.
The other planes I’ve flown in are nice too but I’ve always wanted to fly in the 787 at night. But every time I got to fly in a 787 it was during the daytime. I would love to have that overnight flight experience in the “Dreamliner” when they dim the cabin lights, and everyone goes to sleep, you’re on a window seat, it’s dark outside and the starry sky, moonlight shining through the window. It’s absolutely amazing. But I bet it would feel even more beautiful if I were in an aircraft called “Dreamliner”.
I was watching an old Concorde documentary at the weekend and it was so old that they actually referred to the Dreamliner as the E787, which gives Merritt to 4th option on your list.
My only long haul flight was done on the Dreamliner , the airline + seats didn’t make the flight too comfy , but the plane itself felt lovely + very stable. Often I forgot I was even 40,000ft in the air
I was an apprentice at Rolls-Royce when the 787 was released. They did a fly over the D Site where I was at, we saw a bit of a wing and that was it. Good old British overcast weather.
The only problem for me, as wide complexity build and at 5,11" is the 9 abreast economy. Had most airliners gone with an 8 abreast, it would've been a true dream. on does narrow seats my shoulders are extending beyond the seat back rubbing with my neighbor's. Overall, as a claustrophobic person, the lower height cabin, the overall quietness and the huge windows help a lot.
Dreamliner is more catchy from a layman point of view. And I think it fits the unique characteristics of the Dreamliner as a lot of planes can be global cruisers but the Dreamliner has those extra comfort aspects that set it apart whilst still being smaller than models such as the 747 or a380
Dreamliner sounds modest and exhuberant all at the same time. I remember that 2003 poll and I voted for it to be named Dreamliner. It was the 7E7 at that point.
Global cruiser sounds like some shipping company’s name. Dreamliner is so good and catchy I’ve always loved it
For many passengers, the trip they are on is "dream of a lifetime".
So DREAMLINER, it is........
@@tonis204 very true. The best flight I had was a Dreamliner and let me tell you, it lived up to its name!
yeah it kinda sounds like rippof of worldwide express
Global Cruiser sounds like a US military transport from the 80s tbh
Dreamliner sounds comfortable, modern, and luxurious
I wonder what do they call the 737 MAX 8? Dream of a lifetime really sure lives up to its name
The “global cruiser” sounds like something my grandparents would fly on…
It sounds more like a tourbus idk
Seems like the higher ups are in that age range
HEY youre cruisin for a bruisin
Right now your comment has 787 likes :)
Clipper Jet etc 😁
Global Cruiser and Strato Climber sound like they would have been given to a 1950s military bomber
I thought the same thing
You’re both on the right track. That’s because the Boeing Statocruiser was indeed a real aircraft already. For anyone who’s skeptical: look it up!
@samy7013 yes! Boeing 377 and kc97! I knew that I have heard of that before. I have eaten in a kc97 in colorado springs before! Thank you for that.
Thats bcuz of the stratofortress
B - 52 StratoFortress
Global Cruiser is such a mid name imo. Dreamliner is so much better
IMO GC was better
Yes
Still a crap plane

I think it's ironic that the 787 brought with it the 3-3-3 layout in what was supposed to be a 2-4-2 jet, while being called the "Dreamliner"

Dreamliner, was definitely the right choice. That name is iconic in the aviation industry now.
Love the Dreamliner but hate when cabin crew dim the windows completely when I want to look out but can’t
I am glad I am not the only one, bro.

Really glad they go with Dreamliner, the first time I saw her, it is a dream airplane, beautifully designer, comfortable and that window is just 👌🎉

Dreamliner just sounds so good. Just something about it.
They thought dream liner wouldn’t sound right, when they hear the quiet and peaceful cabin and the giant dreamy windows, they think it actually fits.

Actually it’s more of a historical tie in - they had the 377 Stratocruiser back in the 1940s.
Plus nobody who buys planes was actually interested in Sonic Cruiser...
Dream liner was the right choice.
Screamliner when it catches fire.
Dreamliner is much the superior name to Global Cruiser. Others have said that it sounds like a freight company, to me that's being generous; I think it sounds like a friggin minivan.
Yes, and for those airlines who ordered it, the delay in delivery also seemed like it was gonna be delivered only in their "dreams"
Dreamliner fits so much better
"Skydiver" might be more appropriate considering how things are going with that company
It proved that common people have more sensible minds than any management.
I am glad Dreamliner won.

its an eternal dream for the people in the 787s that had that issue that caused them to crash because the pilots didnt know how to turn it off

“Global Cruiser” sounds like a tug boat charter service 😭
I’ve flown on many Dreamliners from Manchester to Jeddah by saudi airlines. I really liked their dimmed windows (you can adjust their brightness with a button underneath the window).
That fact that the marketing team was surprised doesn’t speak well to their connection to the people.

Strato cruiser sounds like a missile
"Global Cruiser" sounds like an advertising for an Flying Boat by Pan Am or BOAC

Global Cruiser sounds like a plane nickname from 1940's
Reminds me that the 727 was called the "whisper jet" when it went into service in the 'sixties.

Just did 2 business class segments from JFK to Dubai. Definitely a Dreamliner💯❤️✈️
Global Cruiser is synonymous with Vista Cruiser from That ‘70’s Show in my mind.
I would bet there are airlines that may have a different opinion about whether or not it is a “Dream”.
Every now and then I use the “Dream Lifter” to airlift “Dream Liner” tails, wings, and fuselages to America for assembly.
I mean dream liner sounds like a great nickname for it Right?
