The Air India Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 296 passengers across Business + Premium Economy + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are 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 1A, 2A, 2K, 3A, 3K, 4A. Another 67 seats are rated best or good. Look for 25 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 26D, 26G, 34A, 34B, 34C, 34D. Another 40 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Yes. The refreshed 787-9 carries a one-two-one Business cabin where every seat reclines to a flat bed and has direct aisle access, part of the airline's consistent new long-haul product across the renewed fleet.
Yes. It carries a dedicated Premium Economy section between Business and Economy, giving more pitch and deeper recline than standard Economy short of a Business fare. It is the sensible step up on the longer routes the 787-9 flies.
The bulkhead rows just behind a forward cabin give extra legroom, and the true window and aisle seats are the most comfortable in the three-three-three cabin. The rows near the rear galleys and lavatories are the ones to leave alone, where noise and queueing gather.
