The Royal Jordanian Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner carries 312 passengers across Business + Economy. 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 35 seats are rated best or good. The map marks 18 seats with extra legroom.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 11A, 11B, 11J, 11K, 25A, 25B. Another 41 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
It is the better cabin. Both fold flat, but the 787-9's one-two-one layout gives every seat direct aisle access and more privacy, where the 787-8's two-by-two-by-two asks window sleepers to climb past a neighbour. Given the choice of aircraft on a route, take the 787-9.
Window-side seats for privacy, anywhere from the second row back. The centre pairs sit close enough for travelling companions and separate enough for strangers. The front row is the one to double-check: part of it sits against a windowless stretch of fuselage.
At the front bulkhead, which the notes rate as roomier than a typical bulkhead, and at the second-section break, where the legroom arrives with armrest trays and reduced stowage. Both go early, so decide at booking rather than at check-in.
The middle of each section, several rows clear of the lavatory clusters at the section break and the tail. The Dreamliner cabin is quiet by widebody standards, so on this aircraft foot traffic, not engine noise, is the thing to plan around.
Those around the lavatories at the section break and towards the tail, where queues form on a full flight. The last rows also disembark long after the front of the aircraft, which matters most when a connection at Amman is waiting.
