Air France Fleet Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Cabin Interior Class Configuration and Seats Layout

Air France’s newest aircraft, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is outfitted with 276 seats.

The interior features 30 lie flat Business Class seats, 21 Premium Economy seats, and 225 standard Economy seats. 

The business-class cabin stretches from rows 1-8 and consists of a total of 30 lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 reverse-herringbone configuration.

Each seat measures 21 inches wide, offers 42 inches of pitch and reclines to a fully flat position.

Seats on either side of the aircraft are obviously ideal for solo travelers, since there’s an aisle between those seats and the center section.

The middle seats are better for those that are traveling with a companion, but also provide a decent amount of privacy thanks to a divider that can be raised between the two seats.

Premium economy seats fall pretty firmly in the middle ground between business and economy.

With 40 inches of pitch and 19 of width they don’t feel cramped, even if you’re not in the bulkhead row.

They recline within a fixed shell so as not to disturb the passenger behind, which is a big bonus if you want to work, eat, or just generally retain some personal space.

The recline is not bad at 130 degrees, though obviously they can’t compete with the lie-flat offering at the front of the plane.

On arrival the cabin looked clean and I thought the seats looked smart and modern, with a white, black and red colour scheme and leather finishings on the arm and headrests.

There was also a comfortable red pillow and a thick, soft blanket.

A small bottle of Evian was placed in a water bottle holder.

All Air France Dreamliners have wifi, with various packages available – a free pass for messaging on WhatsApp, iMessage or WeChat, a Surf Pass for internet browsing and emails starting from €5, and a stream pass for more heavy-duty internet use at a hefty €30.

Seat Map and Seating Chart Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Air France

First 8 rows on this airplane offer 30 open suites of business class.

All these seats are transformed into a fully bed.

Close location to the galleys and lavatory will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 1A and 1K.

Proximity of the galleys may also represent a problem to passengers of the seats of the 8th row.

Behind the exit row 21 seats of premium economy class are located.

These seats have 130 degrees recline.

Passengers of the seats of the 10th row will take advantage of extra space for their legs.

For passengers travelling with babies these seats offer bassinets.

These seats have some disadvantages: proximity of the lavatories, reduced width and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.

Economy class offers 225 standard seats that are located in two sections.

First section contains 11 rows of seats: 10 of them have 3-3-3 configuration and the last row of the section contains just 6 seats.

Extra legroom provided by the seats of the 15th row makes these seats good seats.

Passengers travelling with infants are often seated in this row. However, these seats are a little narrower than standard and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

Limited recline and location of the lavatories behind are the main disadvantages of the seats 24DEG, 25BC and 25HJK.

Behind the exit row second section of economy class seats is located.

There are 15 rows o seats here.

Passengers of the seats of the 30th row will feel comfortable thanks to extra legroom.

As the tray tables are in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced a little.

Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing is another disadvantage of these seats.

The seats 30BC and 30HJ are considered the best seats.

Protrusion of the exit doors restricts extra legroom of the seats 30A and 30K a little.

Location of the lavatory in front will cause inconvenience to passengers of the seats 30DEG.

For passengers with babies these seats offer bassinets.

The noise from the lavatory and galley located behind the seats of the 43rd row (except the seat 43E) and the seats of the 44th row may be bothersome.

Limited recline makes the seats 43ABC, 43HJK and 44DEG bad seats.
