The 787 will visit Bangkok, Thailand from Feb 9 to 11, before arriving in Singapore on Feb 11.

"We look forward to showcasing the game-changing technologies of the 787 to our valued customers and partners in the Asia-Pacific region," said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager, 787 program.

The Dream Tour airplane, ZA003, is outfitted with the 787's special cabin features including a welcoming entryway, dramatically larger dimmable windows, bigger bins and dynamic LED lighting.
