Forty-two business class seats in a 2-2-2 six-abreast configuration across seven rows. Seats feature a cradle-recline mechanism that reclines to approximately 160 degrees — angled but not fully flat. Seat width is approximately 21.5 inches (54.6 cm) and seat pitch is 59 inches (approximately 150 cm), providing generous legroom for a recliner seat. The cabin includes adjustable headrests and a four-way adjustable footrest. Amenities include an IFE monitor and overhead stowage. Window seats require stepping over the aisle seat to reach the aisle.

How to book this cabin

Airlines may change equipment at any time. To ensure you get the 787-8 (788), always check the seat map during and after booking.

Look for these hints:

  • Look for "787-8" or "788"
  • Look for the 240-seat 787-8 configuration (42 business class, 198 economy — no premium economy)
  • Six-abreast seating visible in the business cabin (pairs of seats left-center-right)
  • Distinguished from Business Staggered by the 6-abreast non-staggered arrangement and absence of the "throne" center seat pattern
  • Seats do NOT lie fully flat — cradle recline only
