Best tips for Ultra Long Haul in a 787-9?

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

I saw you, I even took off around the same time you did as well

FL310 until 70% load, FL330 until 50%, FL350 below that.
