The 787-10 is advertised as a 6430 NM range by Boeing. To say it would be a stretch to go the 4450 NM great circle from SFO-NRT or even the 4950 from SFO-FRA grossly understates the aircraft's capabilities. Don't know that we will use it on those routes, but anything under 6000NM would be doable for the aircraft.

Looks like we will configure the -10s with 318 seats. So just between a 777-200 (280-290 seats in new configuration) and 777-300 (366 seats in the new configuration)

Knowing the way that aircraft routing seemed to have ADHD when it came to 777 vs 747 previously, I think it will definitely be interesting to watch how they handle 767-4,777-2,777-3, and 787-10 routing as we go forward. Probably won't be fun for us, but definitely interesting.

Chasing flying is going to become even more difficult!!

Here is the payload range chart Boeing has published for the 787-10. It is based on zero wind. At MZFW it looks to be about 4200nm. How often would a flight need to take off at max payload is the question.

Actually the new new configuration of the 777-200’s will be 276 total.
