Thanks Steph, very interesting regarding the clocks going back, didn't think of that.
My sister in law has just returned from a fortnite in florida and flew both ways on a TUI Dreamliner.
She wasn't very impressed and failed to see what the fuss/hype was all about.
Flew on the Thomson Dreamliner in May and it was fine. However it can work out more expensive than Virgin, depending on when you book.

Hi
Flew into Orlando for some 'villa maintenance' on Norwegian's Dreamliner, £413 return fare, but must admit I had no suitcase, just my allocated 10kg of carry on luggage, and no food on board (saved £25 each way), just had lunch in Gatwick and brought a meal deal out of WH Smiths for my half way meal !
There was talk in the press that Norwegian would like to get the flights down to £50 each way to the states, but that would be from Dublin, it's said that the USA government are dragging there heels to OK it.
All else being equal, I find the Dreamliner is a very nice, modern and quiet aircraft but for me on board service and inflight facilities will always be the most important factors. I'll take a good crew and IFE on any old aircraft over a shiny new plane with cramped conditions and lousy service every time.

Thoughts from up front and I don't mean First Class.
I know that one of the owners on the forum is a Captain on the Dreamliner but not with Thomson.
As far as he is concerned it's the best plane he has flown and I believe he is certified on a number of different type of aircraft.
