The Japan Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 239 passengers across Business + Premium Economy + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are available on this aircraft. Seats are 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 2A, 2K, 3A, 3K, 4A, 4K. Another 59 seats are rated best or good. The map marks 23 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 30A, 30C, 30D, 31A, 31C, 31D. Another 9 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
JAL uses a one-two-one reverse-herringbone layout, so every Business seat has direct aisle access without disturbing anyone else. Each seat converts to a fully flat bed. The window seats tend to feel the most private; the centre pairs suit travelling companions who want to sit side-by-side.
Premium Economy sits in two-three-two abreast, offering slightly more pitch and width than the two-four-two economy layout. The seat itself is wider and often comes with enhanced meal service. On long transpacific or European routes the extra space is meaningful; on shorter sectors the gap closes.
Bulkhead rows deliver noticeably more legroom and no reclined seat in front — useful on longer sectors. The trade-off is no under-seat bag storage during taxi, takeoff, and landing, and the tray table folds out of the armrest rather than the seat back, which some find awkward. Exit rows offer a similar legroom advantage with slightly fewer restrictions.
