It's supposed to have excellent fuel burn characteristics but nobody is going be using it on anything bordering ultra long haul.
I’m not in any way suggesting ULH is a good idea. United is planning TLV-EWR flights with it. That’s the longest so far. (5000nm) and averages 11hrs 30mins to 12hrs. Boeing’s typical configuration is 330 pax. (290 for the 789). This is a lot higher than BA’s so the planes at BA should go further than that.
