The Kenya Airways Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carries 234 passengers across Business + Economy. 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 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D, 11E, 11F. Another 39 seats are rated best or good. Look for 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D, 22E, 22F. Another 35 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Yes. The 787-8 carries a proper lie-flat business cabin, which is the reason to seek it out on a long overnight sector to Europe or Asia. It is a proper flat bed rather than the fixed recliner you get on the airline's narrowbody 737, so the aircraft you fly changes the product substantially even under the same business badge.
The rows immediately beside the galley and lavatory areas at the cabin divisions collect the most noise and foot traffic, especially through a night flight when the trolleys are working. If you sleep lightly, choose a seat a few rows clear of those zones rather than one directly alongside them.
The bulkhead rows at the front of each economy section and the exit rows give the most legroom, with the exit rows usually the stronger pick because the bulkhead can cost you underseat storage at your feet. If you are tall, these are worth paying to select.
Better than average. The Dreamliner's window spacing lines up with the seat rows more consistently than on many older widebodies, so a seat sold as a window is more likely to actually have one at shoulder height. The larger dimmable windows are a further reason to pick the window side for a daytime leg.
