On United's Dreamliner, you'll feel like you're traveling at 6,000 feet above sea level, not much higher than Denver. Most other planes make it feel as if you're breathing at 8,000 feet, and because less oxygen reaches the bloodstream at higher altitudes, you're more susceptible to headaches and fatigue.

The Air InsideThe cabin pressure on the 787 is higher and the humidity higher than other airplanes. Basically, passengers on board will feel like they are at an altitude of 6,000 feet, 2,000 feet lower than a standard flight.
•Because the 787 is pressurized at about 6,000 feet rather than 8,000 feet, you'll breathe easier. More oxygen in your lungs means better sleep, less chance of headache, no difficulty breathing (flying at altitude is like sleeping at a ski resort).
We call it the Dreamliner effect. The airplane's unparalleled fuel efficiency and range flexibility enables carriers to profitably open new routes as well as optimize fleet and network performance. And for their passengers, an experience like none other in the air, with more comfort and less fatigue.
While standard planes are metal, the Dreamliner is made of something called composite – a combination of different materials. It means it's stronger, lighter and more aerodynamic.

The carbon-fibre structure of the 787 allows the aircraft to be pressurized to a much higher level than on many other aircraft types. The lower the cabin altitude, the better you feel both during and after the flight, allowing your body to adjust to your new time zone more quickly.
2 Boeing 787 DreamlinerThe Dreamliner's lightweight composite structure contributes to reduced noise levels, both inside and outside the aircraft. The use of advanced soundproofing materials and quieter engines keeps the cabin environment more tranquil for passengers.
Yes you get a pillow and blanket on your Inbound night flight in economy. Angie. Thanks Angie! Where can I find what flights are showing long haul this week and May please ?

Upgrading the Economy Class cabinThe seat is equipped with a 7-direction-adjustable patented headrest and ergonomically designed back-support to create a comfortable experience on the plane. Upper book and newspaper holder design increases leg room.
Allowing the wings to flex improves aerodynamic stability. The aircraft is more streamlined and experiences less drag. It helps provide a smoother ride for passengers and minimize turbulence. The 787 fly-by-wire technology also helps here to automatically raise or lower the wing trailing edge during the cruise.
One of the best ways to minimize jet lag is to try and sleep during the flight. Using earplugs, eye masks, or noise-cancellation headphones helps to block out light and noise.
For a rough estimate, most jet airliners takeoff and land at , roughly, 140–150 mph. Of course we deal with knots, but for a “civilian”, 150 mph. Has the 787 Dreamliner been a success for Boeing and its customers?
Make the most of your mealsOn a Dreamliner flight your meals and drinks are all complimentary, so you don't have to worry about spending a small fortune on plane snacks if you don't want to! The type of meal you get will depend upon your flight times, so you'll likely be served breakfast or an evening meal.
Airbus A220 — the most comfortable economyThe Airbus A220 is a unique plane, and is arguably the most comfortable narrow body jet out there. The plane is gorgeous on the outside, from the curves, to the cockpit windows, to the winglets. Even inside, the plane is exceptionally comfortable.
