The Riyadh Air Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 290 passengers across Business + Premium Economy + Economy. Power is available on this aircraft. 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 8A, 8C, 8H, 8K, 9D, 9G. Another 79 seats are rated best or good. Look for 25 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 15B, 15J, 21A, 21B, 21C, 21D. Another 38 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
This flagship fit has three: lie-flat business class, a dedicated premium economy and a long economy cabin. It is the fuller of the airline's two 787-9 layouts, aimed at the marquee long-haul routes.
Yes. Business is a proper lie-flat product, the seat you want on any overnight sector, with direct or near-direct aisle access depending on the row. The front rows behind the nose tend to be the quietest of the cabin.
Premium economy is a real middle tier with wider seats, more pitch and more recline than the back cabin. On a long holiday or leisure sector it is the sensible compromise when lie-flat is out of reach.
Aim for the forward economy rows away from the rear galley and lavatory cluster, and choose a window seat clear of the wing box for the cleanest Dreamliner views. Bulkhead rows trade seat-front stowage for extra foot room.
