IT’S A FAR cry from the squashed plastic seats of some airlines.

Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner is making its first visit to Dublin Airport at the moment. Billed as one of the most luxurious commercial planes in the world, the plane is on a rather rock and roll-sounding Dream Tour to showcase the aircraft around the world.

Unfortunately the public don’t get access to the aircraft. Boo. Instead, it’s parked in a Dublin Airport hangar during the visit, which is due to end later this afternoon.

However photographers were granted access – so here’s some of the best photographs of the Dreamliner taken by Darren Kinsella and by Photocall’s Sasko Lazarov:
