Yes — the one-two-one reverse-herringbone layout means every seat reaches the aisle without stepping past a neighbour. Window seats on each side are the most private; the centre pairs alternate their facing direction by row. All seats convert to fully flat beds, making this a competitive long-haul business product for the transpacific sectors Hainan flies.
Yes — Premium Economy sits in a dedicated section between business and economy, with wider seats and more recline in a two-three-two layout. The window seats on each side of the cabin are the pick for anyone wanting to minimise neighbours. On a transpacific sector of ten or more hours, the extra space and dedicated cabin environment make a tangible difference compared to standard economy.
Hainan uses the 787-9 primarily on long-haul international routes, including transpacific flights to the United States and European destinations. The aircraft is suited to these sectors by range and by the Dreamliner cabin environment, which reduces fatigue relative to older widebodies. Exact route schedules change seasonally, so it is worth confirming the aircraft type on your specific flight before booking.
