Boeing has had a few setbacks in production, but the plane IS flying.

Today, you can fly the Dreamliner on Norwegian Air, the fastest-growing budget airline in Europe—which includes a route from Los Angeles to Stockholm.

To get from Chicago to Warsaw, the Dreamliner flies on LOT Polish Airlines.

United Airlines was the first North American carrier to use the Dreamliner, flying between Denver and Tokyo’s Narita airport, LA to Shanghai, and other routes.
