It seems like there are enough 787s in service now to start a thread on the current and future routes for the 787. Please keep this discussion to actual routes currently in service or officially announced but not speculation over possible future routes.
Here is an initial stab from minimal research, please correct as necessary:
Current Routes
JL
NRT-BOS
HND-PEK
NRT-DME
NRT-DEL
NH
NRT-FRA
I have no idea where they are flying all of their planes
Future Routes (Loaded in Reservation Systems)
JL
HND-SIN
NRT-SIN
NRT-SAN
NRT-HEL
UA
DEN-NRT

Aren't the Japanese domestic routes just to familiarize crews with the a/c and those were temporary? Given the capability of this a/c, I don't think domestic routs will happen for ANA for much longer.
LAN has officially listed the destinations that will receive B-787-8 services with-in one year as SCL, EZE, LIM, LAX, MAD, and FRA. The B-787-8 will also operate SCL-LIM.
Quote: LAN announced –during the opening ceremony of the company’s display in the Fair that the destinations the 787 will fly to during its first year of operations will be Santiago, Buenos Aires, Lima, Los Angeles, Madrid and Frankfurt. These routes will gradually integrate through the aircraft’s first year of service.

Well the domestic routes are still in the ANA timetable and theyve been operating these routes for quite a while now, if they were just familiarization flights they would have ended by now wouldnt you think?

Quite a few of their planes (think majority currently) are configured in a domestic configuration and were always destined to be domestic utilized aircraft.

NH's domestic routes are permanent, not familiarization flights.
NH has seven 788s which two are int'l configured, four in a temporary domestic configuration, and the latest one JA808, I am not sure of the configuration. However, NH has no mention of the domestic configuration on its website, which makes me to conclude that aircraft too is in a temporary domestic configuration.
The permanent domestic configuration will have nine-abreast in economy. Most likely the next 788 will be delivered in this configuration.
Not sure how much longer the temporary domestic configuration is going to last. Some of those airframes are early production models, so they are probably marked for a permanent domestic configuration at a later date.
Quoting United787 (Reply 12): Got it in future routes...have they been loaded in the reservation systems yet?
NRT-SEA is loaded as a 77W starting around July 25. No changover date announced yet. If UA departs from this route, as speculated by many, NH may keep it as a 77W.

Not. It is Haneda-Frankfurt-Haneda

Slight correction for you United'. SAN has not been really "officialized" yet by JAL; the month of the inaugural is set (December 2012) but no exact start date yet so no bookings happening either.
Trust me, there are a lot of us in San Diego who are waiting (patiently?) for the announcement... Since we are approaching 6 months out now, I expect and hope we hear very soon!

Quoting aviogenex (Reply 19):
AeroMexico will likely use it to operate MEX-NRT-MEX non-stop in both directions.
Yes, I read about that. I think we need to add "to the extent possible" though. It might not be feasible to do the MEX-NRT leg nonstop all year long with full payload.
You can add to this list MEX-CDG, MEX-SCL and perhaps MEX-EZE (although I am a big proponent for MEX-EZE being operated by 77Es). Perhaps AM will reinstate MEX-BCN when the 788s arrive and, who knows, they might launch MEX-FCO too.
25 United787: Thanks Eddie, have the officially stated any of these routes or is this speculation?
