... a review of Thompson's first long-haul flight.
Wow. Did "Our man in the sky, Nigel Thompson" get paid for rehashing the Boeing and Tompson sales pitch???

... revolutionary jetlag busting passenger plane ...
We don't know, largely because jet lag affects everyone differently. It also depends how tired you are when you start the journey work/food/sleep etc. from the previous couple of days and what you have to get over - as well as the jet lag. Lastly, it depends what you do in the first 24/48 hours when you may be in jet lag.

Just in case you didn't pick up on it, a couple of paragraphs later:
Physical differences between the jetlag busting Dreamliner cabin...

Actually, I'm not sure what else he has to say:
Dreamliners are the only way to fly in economy. Jetlag – you're busted.
  • He makes no truly personal observation, only states what the PR peeps have being saying for months
  • There is no word of criticism
  • Links to Boeing YT about building the thing
But since the web 'front page' of the Mirror has no news stories at all, only tittle tattle and adverts, there is no suprise that there is no news elsewhere.

Since he does not mention his own jetlag or the return flight - did he actually travel on it?
