The American Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 285 passengers across Flagship Business + Premium Economy + Main Cabin Extra + Main Cabin. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. Seats are 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 9C, 9D, 9H, 9J, 12C, 12J. Another 57 seats are rated best or good. Look for 52 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 21A, 21B, 21C, 21J, 21K, 21L. Another 36 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 787-9's longer fuselage accommodates a larger Economy section and more Main Cabin Extra rows. If Main Cabin Extra availability matters for your booking, the 787-9 typically has more options to choose from than the shorter 787-8.
Yes — American's Premium Economy on the 787-9 is a dedicated cabin in a seven-across layout, positioned between Flagship Business and Main Cabin Extra. It offers wider seats, more legroom, and a dedicated service versus standard Economy. The outer window sections are the most comfortable picks within that cabin.
Start with window seats on either side of the aircraft — one neighbour, fuselage support, window control on a long-haul flight. If you value legroom over view, Main Cabin Extra exit rows near the front of Economy are the next best option. Book early: Main Cabin Extra fills quickly on transatlantic routes, and the window seats go fast too.
