| Boeing hopes airlines will adopt interiors that include sweeping arches, wider aisles and dynamic lighting (pictured above) to give "reconnect the passenger with the flying experience". |
| The manufacturer is promoting large overhead bins near all seats in all classes to airline customers (pictured above). |
| Boeing is promoting the use of feature-led cabin breaks (pictured above) to "provide passengers with comfortable, defined areas in more room-like proportions" to ease comfort on long-haul flights. | The interior designers for the 787 have designed a larger, more open hall with sweeping arches that immediately direct the eye upward, to give the sense of space when passengers first enter the aircraft. |
