I've flown the Virgin Dreamliner, and really didn't see any difference between that and the 747. Still a very cramped and uncomfortable experience, and as for reducing jetlag, i felt no difference at all. Not the best plane i've been on, certainly not the worst, but at the end of the day, it's just a plane, that has had some very clever marketing.

Any tips on where best to sit on the plane?
Not sure I can give you any tips where to sit, but we went via TUI Dreamliner in 2016 and it was amazing - the food, the entertainment, the cleanliness and comfort was the best I've experienced.

Funny (or not!) story was when we landed in Orlando the pilot said "I hope you enjoyed the flight, this was actually my first time flying this plane"

As a nervous flyer at the best of times, I'm glad he told us that at the end of the flight rather than the beginning!

The pilot had obviously only been type rated for the 787 prior to your flight.. happens quite often, the training is very extensive so even if they said at the beginning of your flight you wouldn't have had to worry
