The Air Force has been using mid-air refuelling for years. This is not what they Dreamliner is about though.

Dreamliner is not bigger than others but is more efficient and carries less passengers so costwise would be a good proposition for the business community who have to travel in less time and those who can afford it.

We'll have to see ticket costs first but expect them to have a premium for the reduced travel time.
