Boeing 787-8 Business Class, Ranked
5 cabins · 4 airlines · scored from measured seat metrics
We have scored 4 airlines flying the 787-8, and the business class inside them is not the same product. The airframe sets the fuselage width and therefore how much room a seat can have; the airline decides everything else. Below is every 787-8 business cabin we have measured, ranked — other airlines fly the type without being in our catalogue yet.
1 of these airline flies more than one business-class cabin on the 787-8 — same airline, same aircraft type, different seat. Those are the fleets where the aircraft type alone does not tell you what you are getting.

How These Are Scored
Every cabin on this page is scored from the same measured metrics: seat width, bed length, recline, direct aisle access, privacy, and how much fuselage width each seat gets. Nothing here is a review score. The best 787-8 business class we score is 8.8/10.
Aircraft type is a useful filter and a bad guarantee. Knowing your flight is a 787-8 narrows the possibilities; it does not settle them, because a retrofit programme can put two generations of seat on the same registration list — and this ranking only covers airlines already in our catalogue. Look up your specific flight to see which cabin is likely.
