Is this a Dreamliner with a RR engine or is this one different ?

Thanks Beagle. Would definitely be an interesting stopover to/from Europe, once the engines are proven !
In my experience, most long hauls to US have business class full - Yanks don't like to fly long haul in coach. Every Star Alliance Gold Elites have trouble getting upgrades so probably suggest there's opportunity there (noting Singapore Airlines having no economy on their super long hauls to/from the US) to change the configuration although us plebs out the back pay the Jet A1 and the folk lounging up front are paying the margins...
On another note, Air NZ has made WiFi free on equipped aircraft until the end of February. I'd suggest it will be slow as everyone will be latching onto social media to post FOMO - apparently Air NZ says they have blocked vox but I have already had techie folk tell me that it isn't hard to circumvent their block so the prospect of a long haul with someone blah blah the entire flight beside you makes me happy for Bose noise cancelling headphones and the fact I have no long hauls this summer. I'm going fishing instead.
Some commentators reckon AIR having ‘issues’ with their on board wifi so having it free might appease punters .....but go on to say if there is a decent takeup the ‘issues’ might get worse and result in disappointed punters who won’t pay in future.
Then again it might be the best thing since sliced bread
Interesting chart pattern on Air at the moment, is it going to breakout upwards or downwards? I can't tell just yet, anyone else want to take a guess?
