The TUI Airways Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carries 300 passengers across Premium Economy + 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 1A, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 1G. Another 52 seats are rated best or good. Look for 25 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 26A, 26B, 26C, 26D, 26E, 26F. Another 34 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
No, and TUI does not sell it as one. It is a premium recliner cabin: wider seats, more recline and more legroom in a two-by-three-by-two layout, a class between economy and what full-service carriers call business.
On a long haul to the Caribbean or Mexico it earns a hard look, because the width and recline change how the hours pass. On the rare shorter sectors the maths gets less convincing.
The middle rows of the cabin. The window pairs suit couples, the centre trio holds the only middle seats in premium, and the rows at either end of the cabin sit closest to galleys and lavatories.
At the bulkhead rows opening each economy section. Beyond those, the cabin is uniform nine-abreast, so position and a window-or-aisle preference do the deciding.
Middle seats in the centre block, the rows beside the mid-cabin lavatories, which take the standing traffic, and the deepest rear rows, which disembark last.
