Qantas Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
The Dreamliner Qantas saves for its longest thin routes — Perth–London at around 17 hours, the trans-Pacific runs, and key Asian services. Business is the Thompson Aero Vantage XL in a staggered 1-2-1, every seat lie-flat with its own aisle, split between a larger forward cabin and a small rear one. The catch: no Wi-Fi on Qantas 787s, which is a long stretch offline for an aircraft that spends 17 hours in the air.
Best seats on the Qantas 787-9 Dreamliner
The small rear Business cabin is the insider pick — quieter, more private, and less walked-through than the forward one. Wherever you sit up front, ask for a window: the Dreamliner's electrochromic glass dims at the touch of a button instead of a pull-down shade, and it's one of the best things about the aircraft.
Premium Economy earns its keep on an overnighter, and in Economy the exit rows are the legroom pick.
Seats to avoid
The back of Economy is the part to skip: further from everything, closer to the engines, with galley noise, food smells and crew traffic by the rear galley. A middle seat there is a hard place to spend 17 hours to London with no aisle or window. And with no Wi-Fi, you're on the seatback screen the whole way — load up before you board.
Frequently asked
Is Qantas 787 Premium Economy worth it on Perth–London?
On a seventeen-hour sector, it is one of the better-value premium cabins flying — a wide seat with strong recline and a footrest. The bulkhead row has the most space.
How many seats abreast is Qantas 787 Economy?
Nine — a three-three-three layout, which keeps the seats wider than the tighter layouts some carriers fit on the 787. Front and exit rows give the most room.
Which Qantas 787 seats should I avoid?
The back rows of Economy by the galleys and toilets, and the middle seat of the centre three. The exit rows and bulkheads are the ones to target.
