Wow...quite the modifications! I'd take an aeroloft bed...of course?!
While marketed to business use, I cannot help but wonder how many can really afford it!?
I'd speculate that some of the more refined aspects could carry over to F/J cabins someday...so long as it makes $$ for the airlines.

Boeing has taken delivery of the first Boeing Business jet (BBJ) fitted with the new Aeroloft. Boeing said of the nine Aeroloft-modified BBJ aircrafts that have been sold to date, all are for destined for undisclosed head-of-state customers.
Designed by Washington-based company Greenpoint Technologies, the Aeroloft provides an additional 36.5 meters of cabin space in a VIP-configured BBJ 787-8. The new cabin design sits above the main deck of the aircraft between the upper deck and tail.

Article confuses me
While the article seems to mention the BBJ 747-8 and the BBJ 787-8 almost interchangeably, I think they really are talking about the 747-8 product and not the 787.
Hillary Clinton will have 1,000,000 miles on her B757 and 100 countries visited before leaving office.
Apparently the best perk is the food. She can have anything she wants. She has a private room with a foldout couch and a bathroom.
Yet, as a 1MM, no status benefits with the USAF...?!? Of course, when you have a private room and served whatever food you want, I'm not sure MM benefits are relevant.
