Boeing has released some new images of the interior of its 787 long range twin. The manufacturer is hoping to convince airlines using the "hub-buster" that passengers will pay more for more spacious long-haul configurations.

Some of the innovative ideas are detailed below.

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.
