The China Southern Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 276 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 5A, 6C, 6H, 7A, 7K, 8C. Another 66 seats are rated best or good. Look for 25 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 39C, 39D, 39E, 39G, 39H, 39J. Another 42 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Yes. This is the three-cabin 787-9, with a dedicated Premium Economy between Business and Economy, offering more room, recline and a better service than standard Economy. For the long routes this jet flies it is a reasonable step up that stops short of a Business fare.
This version adds a Premium Economy cabin the two-cabin 787-9s lack, with a smaller Economy to make room. The staggered, aisle-access Business carries over unchanged. The published map tells you which airframe flies your route.
Behind a divider the bulkhead rows carry the most legroom, with your bag going overhead. A window or aisle spares you the centre block, and the front of Economy is the quieter, quicker-to-clear end against the rear by the galleys and lavatories.
On the long routes this 787-9 flies, the extra space and recline over Economy make Premium Economy a worthwhile middle option, especially with a full Business fare out of reach. It lands squarely between the two cabins on both comfort and service.
