Royal Laurel
Boeing 787-9 (789)Business Class
EVA Air's Royal Laurel business class on the 787-9 features 26 forward-facing staggered seats in a 1-2-1 layout across rows 1–8, with every passenger getting direct aisle access. The seat was designed in collaboration with BMW Group Designworks on a proven staggered seat platform — distinct from both the Cirrus reverse-herringbone Royal Laurel on the 777-300ER and the Premium Laurel cabin on the 787-10. Seats convert to a fully lie-flat bed approximately 193 cm (76 in) long at roughly 51 cm (20 in) wide. There is no suite door.
