Upon first
inspection, you'd be forgiven for assuming these lavish interiors belong
to a sprawling penthouse or pricey hotel suite.
In
fact, it's the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner ever to be converted into a
private jet - complete with roomy bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, a dining
room, office area and even cinema.
As
a commercial plane, it would squish in up to 335 passengers, but the
Dream Jet, as it's been named, will carry only up to 40, and they'll
have plenty of room to stretch out.

| This is the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner ever to be converted into a private jet custom-built for corporate flyers, and boasts luxury furnishings and plenty of room for dining and entertaining. |

According to BAVIATION,
the Dream Jet - estimated to have cost upwards of $324 million (£250
million) - comprises a large cabin set over 6,500 square feet, with a
separate resting space for cabin crew.
Among
its laundry list of luxe amenities are a sound-proofed main guest area,
spacious living room and entertainment suite, a full-sized master
bedroom suite, master wash room with over-sized shower, electric dining
and conference tables and 16 convertible day beds.

Co-designed
by Kestrel and Parisian yacht and aircraft design specialists
Pierrejean Design, it lowers in-flight noise down to a very civilised 48
decibels, and has air technology built in to reduce travel sickness and
filter germs from the cabin air.
Should, heaven forbid, any unexpected bumps occur, the furniture has also been streamlined to be absent of any sharp edges.

| Its master bedroom certainly provides the ultimate in comfort, scattered with drapes and candles, but would you really want to sleep through this flight? |
 |
| The bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and roomy en-suite bathroom with oversized shower (left) and plenty of drawer space - exactly what you'd need to fold up and store away remains a mystery |
 |
An
abundance of fresh towels are available, as are a selection of bathroom
products, making it about as far from a commerical plane loo as you can
get
Other
design features include hardwood trimmings and doors, silk accented
carpets and tablets which control everything from lamps and audio to
window shades and flight-attendant alerts.
Lamps,
potted plants, fluffy white towels and luxurious bathroom products lend
the space a homely feel - the home of a very rich individual of course.
Commissioned
by an anonymous Asian businessman and developed by American luxury
aircraft customisers Kestrel Aviation Management, the project has been
in the making for two and a half years.
It was unveiled earlier this year at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition in Geneva.
In addition, Chinese private jet company DeerJet held a launch in Hong Kong last month.
