The Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carries 256 passengers across Business + Economy. Power is available on this aircraft. 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, 11H, 11J, 12A, 12B. Another 32 seats are rated best or good. Look for 24 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 27A, 27B, 27C, 27D, 27E, 27F. Another 30 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
It is a two-two-two cabin at the front, an older inherited product where the seat reclines well back but does not lie flat. You still get a wide seat, priority boarding and full long-haul service, so it is worth knowing which version flies your route.
This is the older two-cabin layout with a two-two-two Business cabin and three-three-three Economy. The refreshed 787-8 adds a Premium Economy section and a newer one-two-one Business cabin, so the seat you get depends on which tail operates your route.
The bulkhead rows just behind Business give extra legroom, and the true window and aisle seats are the most comfortable in the three-three-three cabin. Keep away from the last rows near the rear galleys and lavatories, where the noise and queueing collect.
