Strategic Seating

Best Rows

Odd-numbered window seats (A/L) for the most private feel — positioned farther from the aisle in the staggered layout
Mid-cabin window seats away from the galley/lavatory clusters at rows 1–2 and the inter-cabin break

Rows to Avoid

Even-numbered window seats — more exposed to the aisle due to the stagger
Seats immediately adjacent to the Polaris Studio rows (rows 3A/3L on the forward cabin, rows 11A/11L on the rear cabin) may have slightly more foot-traffic from Studio passengers
Rear-most Polaris row (check specific seat map — may be near galley/lavatory)

How to book this cabin

Airlines may change equipment at any time. To ensure you get the 787-9 (789), always check the seat map during and after booking.
