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, 6G, 7A, 7K, 8C. Another 40 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 34 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
It carries the same two cabins, a staggered Business and a nine-abreast Economy, but sits on a different group of airframes with a slightly different cabin length. For seat choice you treat them the same way. The published map confirms the cabin on your flight.
Business runs a staggered layout, so every seat reaches the aisle and keeps a fair measure of privacy, and it folds down flat for sleeping. The quieter, more humid 787 cabin makes it a comfortable choice on the long routes this jet flies.
The rows just aft of the bulkhead give the most legroom, though they cost you floor stowage. Take a window or aisle to dodge the centre block, and the front of Economy stays calmer and clears ahead of the rear by the galleys and lavatories.
