Turkish Airlines 787-9 Dreamliner

Turkish Airlines Business on the 787-9 uses an angled staggered layout that reclines to a near-flat position — the seat angle means it does not achieve a fully horizontal lie-flat. The product is a capable long-haul Business seat, but passengers who require a fully flat bed should verify the specific configuration before booking, as Turkish has been upgrading select aircraft.

Economy on the Turkish 787-9 is three-three-three abreast — nine seats across the cabin in three equal blocks. That is the standard modern widebody Economy layout, and the Dreamliner fuselage keeps the seats a touch wider than on older equivalents. Window and aisle positions in each block of three are the clear winners over the middle.

Turkish Airlines is known for full meal service in both Economy and Business on international routes, including complimentary hot meals, snacks, and drinks. The catering is generally above average for Economy, which is one of the reasons many travellers choose Turkish for long connecting itineraries through Istanbul.
