Every Boeing Dreamliner 787 route to and from Australia

Here are the current routes to and from Australia you can fly on a Dreamliner.

Qantas has recently announced that Sydney to Santiago will be the next route for its fleet of Dreamliners. The aircraft will be deployed on the route in late June 2020 and an additional three return flights per week will also be added, which are subject to regulatory approval.

This follows Qantas' move to add the aircraft to some San Francisco and Hong Kong routes in late 2018/early 2019.

Which routes can you fly on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Australia?

Why all the hype about the Boeing 787 Dreamliner?

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner has a number of features to make travellers excited. Without going into the technical details, the Dreamliner:

• Has the largest windows of any comparable aircraft
• Is quieter than comparable planes
• Can reduce jet lag
• Has a lower cabin pressure and higher humidity (less fatigue and headaches)
• Is more fuel-efficient
• Can be used for longer routes (such as Perth to London or Newark to Singapore)

What’s the difference between the 787-8, 787-9 and 787-10?

One of the major differences between the 787 variants is the size. The 787-8 is the smallest of the three with the smallest seat capacity, with the planes increasing in size and seating capacity as you go from 787-9 to 787-10.
