The NRL is heading to Vegas, but only one team is flying business!

The NRL’s Sydney Roosters have been selected to fly Business onboard United’s new Boeing 787 Dreamliner when the team flies to Las Vegas for the NRL’s USA showcase.

The Broncos, Sea Eagles and Rabbitohs will all fly via Nadi airport in Fiji as part of a Fiji Airlines partnership with the event that will be held in the same stadium as this week’s Super Bowl.

Boeing’s website says that its new Dreamliner provides, “cleaner air, smoother ride technology and improved temperature control, (offering) an experience like none other in the air, with more comfort and less fatigue.”

“The 787 combines new filtration, better pressure and more humidity to help passengers feel less dryness and fatigue. The 787 offers the latest in seat comfort and technology.

“Sensors on the 787 sense and dampen turbulence for a more comfortable ride and less motion sickness.

“The 787 cabin is wider than that of the airplanes it replaces, so passengers enjoy more personal space, both physically and visually.

“Its cabin architecture creates a strong sense of spaciousness with its broad, welcoming entry way, large windows and vaulted ceiling.

“(There is) better lighting and more adjustable LED lighting provides more lighting choices to create a relaxing environment.

“Windows also dim at the touch of a button, allowing passengers to look outside when they wish and still maintain a dimmed cabin when appropriate.”
