The Air Austral Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carries 262 passengers across Business + Economy. Every seat is rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 11A, 11B, 11C, 11J, 11K, 11L. Another 12 seats are rated best or good. Look for 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 26A, 26B, 26C, 27A, 27B, 27C. Another 11 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The Dreamliner runs a lower cabin altitude and higher humidity than older widebodies, which reduces the dry, tired feeling on long sectors. Its larger windows and quieter cabin add to that, making it a strong choice for the overnight routes Air Austral flies.
Two: Business up front and economy behind. Business gives you the most space and recline for the overnight sectors, while economy is where seat position matters most.
The bulkhead row and any exit row carry the most legroom in economy. They are worth asking for on a full long-haul flight, though seats ahead of an exit may have reduced recline.
The rows toward the middle of the economy cabin, away from the galleys and lavatories at the cabin breaks, run the quietest. Avoid the rows next to those service areas if you want to sleep on the way to France.
