What are your best tips for an ultra long haul flight in a 787-9? I’m currently doing Miami-Mumbai, with an american 789, I loaded like 94 or 93% of fuel and the total load was 98%, any tips? currently cruising

Imo, step climbing is your best friend especially when flying LH/ULH because it helps maximize your fuel efficient range.
Also, may I ask how did you manage to depart with a 98% load??

using the runway threshold, 80% of power and took of at 165 knots, I had enough runway tbh, but what I dont like about the 787 family is that when it is taking off it slides to one or other side and takes off before one pushes the yoke upwards
FL310 until 70% load, FL330 until 50%, FL350 below that.
