A bridge too far.
I love this line from the article, about the intermediate fuel stop in Fiji --
"The inaugural 787 flight suffered similar issues with strong headwinds and difficult weather, leading the flight to offload passenger luggage and take on additional fuel in order to make the ultra-long route. "
Sorry, Mate. Can't take your luggage along next leg. Drop it here in Fiji !!

Same thing happened to me in 1997 LOS ANGELES - SYDNEY United Airlines 747. Had to stop in Fiji for refuel due to strong headwinds
