The China Eastern Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 285 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 25C, 25D, 25H, 31A, 31B, 31C. Another 37 seats are rated best or good. Look for 25 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 39A, 39B, 39C, 39J, 39K, 39L. Another 18 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 carries a dedicated Premium Economy between Business and Economy, with more room, recline and a better service than standard Economy. On the long routes the Dreamliner flies it is a sensible step up short of a full Business fare.
The Dreamliner runs a quieter, better-pressurised cabin with larger windows than the older widebodies, which eases the fatigue of a long sector. Paired with a full-flat, aisle-access Business and a Premium Economy option, it is one of the more comfortable long-haul jets in the fleet.
The bulkhead rows just behind a divider stretch out the most, at the price of floor storage. A window or aisle keeps you off the three-across centre block, and the front of Economy loads and empties ahead of the rear rows by the galleys and lavatories.
Yes. The one-two-one Business seat lies fully flat for sleeping and reaches the aisle from every seat, so nobody climbs over a neighbour. With the quiet Dreamliner cabin around it, it is a genuine long-haul Business worth aiming for on the longer routes.
