Why did Boeing stretch its Dreamliner family to a fuselage length of 224ft (68 m) on the 787-10, making it a full 38 ft (12 m) longer than the original Boeing 787-8? In an era when airlines demand both efficiency and flexibility, the Boeing 787-10’s extra length delivers up to 330 seats in a two-class layout, nearly 40 more than the Boeing 787-9 and almost 90 more than the Boeing 787-8, without the time, cost, or certification burden of designing an entirely new wing or tail. By inserting nine fuselage frames (five forward of the wingbox, four aft) and reinforcing…

Flying is usually part of a larger trip, but there are some occasions where aviation IS the main destination. Think airshows, aviation museums, aircraft factories, and the like. Included in that category are the select few hotels out there that are major AvGeek sights in their own right. We’ve written about a few of them, like LAX’s H Hotel and the Excel Hotel at Tokyo Haneda. But maybe the biggest name in the game is the TWA Hotel at New York JFK International Airport. We wrote about the TWA Hotel in a pair of stories back in 2019 — one…

On most global airline rankings, a few elite airlines reign supreme. In recent years, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines have duked it out for the top spot. That pair of long-haul carriers are on top of their game, especially in premium cabins where they can dial the experience up to the max. I’ve enjoyed writing occasional airline comparison stories like Air France vs KLM (2020) and a battle royale between five Star Alliance carriers (2018). This past year I was fortunate to fly long haul itineraries on both Qatar and Singapore. And to follow up the individual stories on each…
