Best-seats guide · Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner
The best seats on the Scoot Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.
The Scoot Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner seats 335 passengers across 2 cabins. Every row below is rated on legroom, location and distance from galleys and lavatories.
Scoot packs the 787-8 Dreamliner densely as a low-cost long-haul carrier: ScootPlus is the premium cabin up front, laid out two-three-two abreast, while Economy fills the bulk of the aircraft in a three-three-three configuration. The Dreamliner fuselage still gives slightly larger windows and lower cabin altitude than older widebodies, which eases longer flights even in a no-frills seat.
In ScootPlus, the window pairs (A and K sides) give you a wall and one neighbour; the three-seat centre bank is the one to dodge if you are travelling alone. Economy is all three-three-three, so the window column on each side (A or K) offers a lean-and-sleep option, while the centre column of three is the tightest spot. Exit rows and the row behind the ScootPlus divider tend to have extra legroom in Economy — worth checking at booking or check-in. The tail end, near the rear lavatories and galley cluster, stays busier and noisier throughout the flight.

Frequently asked
ScootPlus gives you a wider, more reclined seat in a much smaller cabin than Economy, plus a meal and extra baggage — useful on longer Scoot routes to Europe or across Asia. It is not a flat-bed product, but the step up in comfort from the densely packed Economy rows is real, particularly on night flights.
Scoot uses a three-three-three layout in Economy across the 787-8, which is the same seat-width standard as most full-service carriers on this aircraft type. The Dreamliner fuselage is slightly wider than older narrowbodies at the same abreast count, so it is not uncomfortable by budget-carrier standards — just not generous.
Exit rows and bulkhead rows at cabin dividers typically offer extra legroom. These fill fast, so it pays to select them as early as the booking flow allows. Scoot charges for seat selection on most fares, so factor that in when weighing up the upgrade from a standard row.
