Aircraft names are typically a sterile combination of letters and numbers with little consideration for public perception. Boeing jets, however, have names that differentiate their planes in the public eye. Each one’s name starts and ends with a seven, while the 787 is also named the Dreamliner, and the current generation of the 737 is called the MAX.

If I didn’t have a family, I might just stay here forever and never go home. As a hotel and hospitality geek,…

The Boeing 777 is one of the world’s most versatile widebody twinjet airliners, with carriers across the globe able to put it to use either on premium-heavy ultra-long-haul routes or to provide extra capacity on higher-density sectors. In the former category, data from Cirium, an aviation analytics company, shows that four airlines currently fly the type to the US on routes of 8,000+ miles. These sectors originate in Asia and the Middle East, and connect these regions with destinations on both the East Coast and the West Coast of the United States of America, and, indeed, in between as well.…
