Korean Air's Prestige Class on the 787-9 is an angled-flat product in a two-two-two layout. The seat angle is generous but does not achieve a fully horizontal lie-flat surface. Korean Air has been upgrading its long-haul fleet in stages, so the seat spec may differ between older and newer 787-9 aircraft on the same route.
The Economy cabin holds the majority of the aircraft's capacity in three-three-three abreast across a nine-seat-wide configuration. The exact seat count is rendered live on the seat map — the layout stays nine-abreast throughout, which keeps each individual seat a touch wider than on a ten-abreast aircraft.
Korean Air's 787-9 configuration has two cabins — Prestige Class and Economy — with no dedicated premium economy tier. Travellers seeking something between the two can look at Prestige upgrade options at booking or via the carrier's bidding programme, or select an Economy exit row for extra legroom.
