The China Southern Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 297 passengers across Business + 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 5A, 6C, 6H, 7A, 7K, 8C. Another 36 seats are rated best or good. Look for 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 32A, 32B, 32C, 32H, 32J, 32K. Another 47 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Business is a staggered layout that hands every seat direct aisle access and a good measure of privacy, with a seat that lies flat for sleeping. With the quieter, more humid 787 cabin around it, it is a comfortable long-haul product, so the aircraft type is worth checking when you book.
Legroom peaks in the rows against the forward divider, where you trade the floor stowage away. An outer window or aisle sidesteps the centre block, while the front of Economy runs quieter and empties sooner than the rear rows near the galleys and lavatories.
Yes. It appears in more than one configuration, and one version adds a dedicated Premium Economy cabin. The published map for your flight is the reliable way to see the exact cabins.
