The XiamenAir Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carries 237 passengers across First + Business + Economy. Power and Wi-Fi are 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 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, 41E, 41H. Another 25 seats are rated best or good. Look for 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 52A, 52B, 52C, 52J, 52K, 52L. Another 28 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Yes, a four-seat cabin in the nose, one of the smallest first class sections flying anywhere. Each seat folds flat and reaches the aisle directly. With so few seats, availability is the constraint rather than the product.
Yes, the two-two-two cabin folds fully flat. The centre seats reach the aisle with no one to climb over; window seats step past a neighbour, which is the main thing separating otherwise similar seats. The rearmost business row sits near a lavatory.
The bulkhead rows carry the marked extra legroom, with trays in the armrest and floor stowage lost for take-off. Beyond those, a window or aisle forward of the rear lavatory cluster is the sensible play in a nine-abreast cabin.
Several, and worth checking: a couple of positions have no window and a handful have the pane set behind the seat, so the view needs a lean. The map flags all of them, seat by seat.
The 787-9 carries the newer Super Diamond business cabin, where every seat has direct aisle access, but no first class. If the front of the aircraft is the point of the trip, the -8 offers the rarer product and the -9 the more consistent one.
